DARK SPRING by Unica Zurn Paperback / softcover ISBN 9781878972309. "an autobiographical coming-of-age novel that reads more like an exorcism than a memoir. In it Unica Zurn traces the roots to her obsessions: the exotic father she idealized, the 'impure' other she detested, the masochistic fantasies and onanistic rituals which she said described 'the erotic life of a little girl based on my childhood.' Dark Spring is the story of a young girl's simultaneous introduction to sexuality and mental illness, revealing a different aspect of the 'mad love' so romanticized by the Surrealists."
