Widely acknowledged as one of the most important English writers of the last century, Angela Carter's work stands out for its bawdiness and linguistic zest, its hospitality to the fantastical and the absurd, and its extraordinary inventiveness and range. Her life was as vigorously modern and unconventional as anything in her fiction. This is the story of how Angela Carter invented herself - as a new kind of woman and a new kind of writer - and how she came to write such seductive and distinctive masterworks as The Bloody Chamber, Nights at the Circus, and Wise Children. Because its subject so powerfully embodied the spirit of the times, the book also provides a fresh perspective on Britain's social and cultural history in the second half of the twentieth century. It examines such topics as the 1960s counterculture, the social and imaginative conditions of the nuclear age, and the advent of second wave feminism. Author Edmund Gordon has followed in Angela Carter's footsteps - travelling to the places she lived in Britain, Japan, and the USA - to uncover a life rich in adventure and incident. With unrestricted access to her manuscripts, letters, and journals, and informed by interviews with Carter's friends and family, Gordon offers an unrivalled portrait of one of the twentieth century's most dazzlingly original writers. This sharply written narrative will be the definitive biography for years to come.Binding Type: Hardcover

Best Skin cleanser
Best ever. Deep cleans pore and I can see makeup melting off the face once you wash with this. Post results: Super clean soft skin, my face shines. Been using only for 2 weeks now, so cannot comment on Pore size reduction.
Extra sensitive eczema skin approved.

Great product
Size: 25 Count (Pack of 6)
My favorite facial wipes. Gentle to your skin, no alcohol, no burning on the eyes! These wipes clean well make up and don't get dry in the package. Expensive though, hope the price won't go up to make us give up on them.

The only thing that works for me
Size: 50 count (Pack of 1)
I love these face wipes so much. I cannot use soap due to all the problems I have with my skin. It's so finicky.. I have rosacea with painful P&P and also flare ups of adult acne. I take a med to keep my oil production under control, but that means I end up with a few flakey patches on my cheeks. These are the ONLY face wipes that I've found that not only remove almost all (more on that in a moment) of the makeup I'm wearing, but also seem to help keep my redness under control. I've tried Aveeno Ultra-Calming wipes which profess to help with redness and even those are way too harsh for my skin. The Aveeno wipes make my face sting horrible, leave a greasy residue, and have a smell that is not very pleasant. The Simple wipes take off WAY more makeup than those, or any other wipe, I've tried and leave my skin feeling actually clean and calm.
The only routine that I've found that keeps my skin looking decent is to use these to remove the majority of my makeup and then follow up with Simple Micellar Water
on a cotton pad to remove any further traces. I follow that up with a few spritzes of
(rosewater is supposed to help with redness too) and then moisturize with
- which doesn't have SPF (which makes my rosacea flare up). It sounds like a lot of steps, but it takes me 3 minutes, tops.
I'd just like to add too for those saying that these don't remove waterproof mascara - well, yeah. I would want neither a "gentle" face wipe that was harsh enough to remove waterproof mascara, nor a mascara that was wimpy enough to be removed with a gentle wipe... that would mean it would also come off every time my eyes watered or even just blinked. Just use an oil-free eye makeup remover before using these.
