Why read it?
1 author picked Unexpected Journeys as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
My copy of this foremost biography of Remedios Varo is in tatters.
It covers Varo’s life from her childhood in Spain, her time in Paris with the surrealists, her flight from Paris and life in a safe house in Marseilles, and her escape from Vichy France to the haven of Mexico, her home for the remainder of her life.
Kaplan includes insights into Varo’s spiritual beliefs and practices, including the tarot. Filled with gorgeous reproductions of her paintings.
From Claire's list on for the tarot curious and the tarot maven.
