Leonora Carrington

Leonora Carrington (1917‑2011) was a British‑Mexican painter, playwright and novelist associated with the Surrealist movement. Known for her eccentric, anarchic imagination, she created a body of work that spans visual art and literature, often exploring themes of myth, gender, and the uncanny. The Hearing Trumpet, written in the 1950s and first published in 1974, is her most famous novel and showcases her surrealist storytelling.
