安娜·卡文

**安娜·卡文**（Anna Kavan，），英國小說家，短篇小說作家和畫家。

## 生平
安娜·卡文出生在法國，是富裕冷淡雙親的唯一孩子，導致她終生苦於抑鬱症和精神疾病。她生長在歐洲和美國，並曾住在緬甸。

她結婚了又離婚兩次，一個兒子布萊恩於第二次世界大戰中喪生。她的女兒瑪格麗特在斯圖爾特埃德蒙茲出生，但分娩後不久去世。這對夫妻領養了一個女兒，命名為蘇珊娜。

她最初的六部小說以海倫·弗格森為筆名。安娜·卡文沉迷於海洛因，普遍被認為因吸食海洛因過量猝逝。事實上，她死於心臟衰竭，雖然她曾企圖自殺過數次。

## 風格
她一直被人們與弗吉尼亞·伍爾夫和阿娜伊斯·寧（Anaïs Nin）、Djuna Barnes、卡夫卡等人相互比較。
