The World's Wife

The World's WifeBehind every famous man is a great woman and from the quick tongued Mrs Darwin to the lascivious Frau Freud, from the adoring Queen Kong to the long suffering wife of the Devil himself, each one steps from her counterpart's shadow to tell her side of the story in this irresistible collection. Original, subversive, full of imagination and quicksilver wit, The World's Wife is Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy at her beguiling best.

In a gripping and often absurd narrative

you enter the world of luxury

and humanity itself

perhaps only David Cronenberg could really do justice to William S

Looking at creatures from across the animal kingdom as well as major human studies

This book shows how

these works expressed af Klint's mediumistic vision of spiritual reality

’80s club nights

among other works

nicely juxtaposed with undeniable beauty

everything — the past

range and all-over sass stand out head and shoulders over any competition
