To Mother,
Who was more of less like all mothers, but she was mine, and so — she excelled.” — Djuna Barnes dedication to her mother, 1915
About the Author
Born in 1892, Djuna Barnes was an American writer and artist known for her avant-garde style and exploration of complex themes like identity, sexuality, and alienation. Born in Cornwall-on-Hudson, New York, she had a tumultuous upbringing, influenced by her unconventional family life and lack of formal education.
She became a central figure in the literary and artistic scenes of Paris during the 1920s, alongside luminaries like James Joyce and Gertrude Stein.
Her most famous work, Nightwood, was a groundbreaking modernist novel that explores themes of love, obsession, and despair in a fragmented narrative style. It is considered a landmark in LGBTQ+ literature. After the publication of Nightwood, Barnes lived a reclusive life in Greenwich Village, New York, until her death in 1982.
