Born in a log cabin on Storm King Mountain in New York, Barnes was raised in a prominent family of artists, musicians, and writers. Her father Wald was an advocate of polygamy but showed little interest in providing for his eight children by two women. In 1912, Djuna escaped to New York City with her mother and three brothers and began attending the Pratt Institute and the Art Student’s League of New York until 1916. She then found work as a freelance writer for the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, the New York Press, and The World—among other leading journals and newspapers—publishing interviews, fiction, drawings, and features. She gained notoriety for a piece documenting her experience being force-fed, which she hoped would shed light on the cause of suffragists on hunger strike around the globe. She later used her art world connections to fund a literary career of her own, gaining notoriety for Nightwood (1936) a cult classic lesbian novel and a pioneering work of modernist fiction. Beginning in 1921, she lived for fifteen years in Paris as a correspondent for McCall’s. A Book (1923), a major work from this era, is a celebrated collection of poems, plays, illustrations, and short stories that showcases her wide-ranging talent as an artist.lihat lebih sedikit
