Ice

Anna Kavan's surreal and haunting novel Ice is set against a bleak, post-apocalyptic landscape where the narrator and the warden search for an elusive girl amid a world overrun by ice and governed by a secret organization. Known for its innovative approach to feminist science fiction and slipstream genres, the story weaves hallucinatory imagery and rich introspection into a desert of destruction and loneliness. Praised as Kavan’s best work, it offers a compelling exploration of obsession and the fragile nature of innocence.
