Winner of both the Hawthornden Prize and the James Tate Black Prize for Fiction, David Garnett's Lady Into Fox is the story of a man whose wife is turned into a fox. Need we say more? "At last, at last, the Hawthornden has chosen the right book." - Virginia Woolf "The whole psychology of man and beast is, I should say, flawless, in essence and exposition." - Joseph Conrad "It is as astonishing as a new sort of animal...suddenly running about in the world...as whimsically inevitable as a very healthy kitten. It shows up most other stories as the clockwork beasts they are." - H.G. Wells, The Adelphi "It is one of the strangest little fictions in the English language. ... Garnett's novella has attracted numerous readings: a political allegory about marriage, a fable about female sexuality, a coded love letter to Garnett's former lover, the painter Duncan Grant." - Judith Mackrell, The Guardian "Garnett's story intimates that the sexual relation rests on the delusion that kin can be converted into kind. If the fable also applies to same-sex love (and I think it does), then perhaps Garnett's point is darker still: every kind attempt we make to "claim kin" with one another is a sort of violence. Wild we begin toward one another-at day's end, wild we remain." - Maud Ellmann, Public Books ..........
