Angela Carter's journalism exists somewhere in the territory marked out by Roland Barthes of MYTHOLOGIES, middle-period Orwell, and early Tom Wolfe
With the rise of feminist theory, reclamation of folktale and world domination of magical realism, Carter became a canon in her own right
Her writing occupies a unique place in twentieth century fiction, a place where myths around gender and sexuality are debunked and where not even the deepest darkest recesses of human imagination are off-limits
Her imagination was one of the most dazzling this century
