Al centro della Foresta della Notte dorme la Bella Schizofrenica, in un letto dell’Hotel Récamier. T.S. Eliot, accompagnando questo libro alla sua uscita, scrisse che vi trovava «una qualità di orrore e di fato strettamente imparentata con quella della tragedia elisabettiana». E presto il romanzo sarebbe diventato una leggenda. «La foresta della notte» è del 1936.

Negli anni Venti, Djuna Barnes era una giornalista newyorkese molto immersa nei tumultuosi costumi del decennio. Che qui racconta in forma narrativa, affidando al suo alter ego più esuberante tre divagazioni non resistibili sul sesso, i suoi ruoli scambievoli, i suoi rocamboleschi imprevisti.

Barnes has been cited as an influence by writers as diverse as Truman Capote, William Goyen, Isak Dinesen, John Hawkes, Bertha Harris and Anaïs Nin. Writer Bertha Harris described her work as "practically the only available expression of lesbian culture we have in the modern western world" since Sappho. Barnes played an important part in the development of 20th century English language modernist writing and was one of the key figures in 1920s and 30s bohemian Paris after filling a similar role in the Greenwich Village of the teens. Her novel Nightwood became a cult work of modern fiction, helped by an introduction by T. S. Eliot. It stands out today for its portrayal of lesbian themes and its distinctive writing style. Since Barnes's death, interest in her work has grown and many of her books are back in print.
