This title comes with a new introduction by Rachel Cooke. Reading Shaking a Leg
is like spending time with the funniest, wisest friend you've ever had; a person
whose breadth of interest ranges from food to feminism to science fiction, and
everything in between; a person with an entirely unpredictable train of thought
but whose exuberance, knowledge and insight sweeps you along. Bursting with idea
s, culturally astute and sparklingly witty, this comprehensive volume of Angela
Carter's journalism is the most down-to-earth and entertaining companion to latt
er twentieth-century thought you'll ever need.
