Like her award-winning novels, Marina Warner’s stories conjure up mysteries and wonders in a physical world, treading a delicate, magical line between the natural and the supernatural, between openness and fear. In ‘Natural Limits’, a bereaved woman, contemplating the massacre of 11, 000 virgins, comes to terms with the unimaginable. The title story and ‘Canary’ search for signs of evil or innocence written on the body. The ‘Insomniac Princess’ finds that unheard melodies are indeed sweeter; whereas other stories give voice to the traditionally voiceless – the artist’s model and the film double. Here are fabulous images of saints and sinners, bats and nightingales, pink flesh and putrefaction in an electrifying new collection.
