A new biography of Angela Carter was published recently. 

I haven't read it, but I have read Angela Carter, and you should too.  She was good; better than she was given credit for. Her stories went down easily and quickly.  They were gruesome and beguiling, which can be easily dismissed as unsubstantial when really the reader just hasn't understood the work.

And yet, somehow, if I don't like David Foster Wallace or James Joyce, I'm not reading it properly.
Go read Angela Carter.
