Barnes's career began long before Nightwood, with journalism, essays, drama, and satire of extraordinary wit and courage. Long into her later life, after World War II, when she published nothing more, it was her short fiction above all that she prized and would continue to revise.

Mit ihren Erzählungen entwickelte sich Djuna Barnes in den zwanziger Jahren schnell zu einer provozierend exzentrischen Autorin. In ihren witzigen, tragikomischen und mitunter bösartigen Portraits von Frauen und Männern und ihren außergewöhnlichen Leidenschaften dreht sich letztlich immer alles um die Liebe und die Einsamkeit. Hinreißende Geschichten von einer Herrin und ihrem Stallknecht, von Briefen, die nicht abgeschickt werden, von Duellen ohne Sekundanten und von einem Pfau in grüner Seide versammelt dieses Hörbuch.

On the fictional island of Patusan—and much to the ire of the Patusan natives—the Korean conglomerate LK is constructing an elevator into Earth’s orbit, gradually turning this one-time tropical resort town into a teeming travel hub: a gateway to and from our planet. Up in space, holding the elevator’s “spider cable” taut, is a mass of space junk known as the counterweight. And stashed within that junk is a trove of crucial data: a memory fragment left by LK’s former CEO, the control of which will determine the company’s—and humanity’s—future.

Nightwood, Djuna Barnes's strange and sinuous tour de force novel unfolds in the decadent shadows of Europe's great cities, Paris, Berlin, and Vienna - a world in which the boundaries of class, religion, and sexuality are bold but surprisingly porous. The outsized characters who inhabit this world are some of the most memorable in all of fiction.
