A review by alectastic
Down Below by Leonora Carrington
3.0
"I don't accept your force, the power of any of you, against me; I want my freedom to act and think; I hate and reject your hypnotic forces."
In the hurried but vivid work, there is both an element of dizziness and control. The scenes blur, yet are conveyed in such a manner that brings strange clarity. It takes courage to understand her. Carrington writes detached but writes of some of the most electrified experiences and feelings. Her mind is chaotic with symbols and color, fully explosive, but she describes her own madness like it were a science.
