Overview
A Poetry Book Society Recommendation. Angel is about madness and knowability, its figures opaque to one another. It will have strong appeal for psychoanalysts. Padel's scholarly work, "exquisitely written word-painting" on madness and self in ancient Greece, has been praised for the "gruesome brilliance and richness" with which she details an alien worldview. Angel, plunging into psychologically estranged worlds, does something similar. Here too she excels in "making foreign patterns of thought compellingly vivid" (TLS).Book Details
