Loki is a relentlessly wonderful character an amoral and capricious, but also completely psychologically plausible anti-hero, whose antics range from mischief to genocide, across 300 endlessly entertaining pages.

Today, the revival of interest in Anna Kavan is ongoing. Sometimes referred to as “Kafka’s sister”, Kavan charted a remarkable journey throughout her well-travelled and richly experienced life - which included three failed attempts at suicide, two failed attempts at marriage, and a series of novels, short stories, and paintings that grapple with identity and violence. ![]() Why haven’t you heard of Anna Kavan?
