"Nightwood" by Djuna Barnes is a groundbreaking novel set between the World Wars, exploring themes of class, religion, and sexuality in cities like Paris and Berlin. Its unforgettable characters, including Robin Vote and Dr. Dante-O'Connor, navigate complex relationships, making it a landmark in feminist and lesbian literature. T.S. Eliot praised its poetic style, and a new preface by Jeanette Winterson highlights its enduring impact.
