Widely acknowledged as one of the most important English writers of the last century, Angela Carter's work stands out for its bawdiness and linguistic zest, its hospitality to the fantastical and the absurd, and its extraordinary inventiveness and range. Her life was as vigorously modern and unconventional as anything in her fiction. This is the story of how Angela Carter invented herself - as a new kind of woman and a new kind of writer - and how she came to write such seductive and distinctive masterworks as The Bloody Chamber, Nights at the Circus, and Wise Children. Because its subject so powerfully embodied the spirit of the times, the book also provides a fresh perspective on Britain's social and cultural history in the second half of the twentieth century. It examines such topics as the 1960s counterculture, the social and imaginative conditions of the nuclear age, and the advent of second wave feminism. Author Edmund Gordon has followed in Angela Carter's footsteps - travelling to the places she lived in Britain, Japan, and the USA - to uncover a life rich in adventure and incident. With unrestricted access to her manuscripts, letters, and journals, and informed by interviews with Carter's friends and family, Gordon offers an unrivalled portrait of one of the twentieth century's most dazzlingly original writers. This sharply written narrative will be the definitive biography for years to come.Binding Type: Hardcover

Terrible taste, great brand
Flavor Name: Berry, Size: 30 Servings (8.0 Ounce) (Pack of 1)
Thorne is a phenomenal company and the only supplements I trust. The reason I rated this so low is the absolutely disgusting flavor. Do yourself a favor and try another option

Flavor is a problem
Flavor Name: Berry, Size: 30 Servings (8.0 Ounce) (Pack of 1)
The flavor ……it’s tough. It’s like drinking a sweet TART. Emphasis on tart. No better way to describe . Can’t get past the flavor to make other comments .

Great for recovery
Flavor Name: Berry, Size: 30 Servings (8.0 Ounce) (Pack of 1)
Really helps with post work out recovery. I feel noticeably less sore when I take this after a workout. Definitely prefer the lemon flavor over the berry.

Great formula, but desperate for an unflavored option
Flavor Name: Berry, Size: 30 Servings (8.0 Ounce) (Pack of 1)
I’ve been incorporating Thorne’s Amino Complex into my daily stack, and from a nutritional standpoint, it’s hard to beat. The clinical dosing of essential amino acids is exactly what I’m looking for to support my recovery and fitness goals. Thorne is usually my go-to for purity and quality, and this product is no exception when it comes to the actual ingredients.
However, the flavor profile is a significant drawback. To be blunt: the flavors are just not good. They feel chemically and overly sweet, which makes it a chore to drink rather than a supplement I look forward to.
I would much prefer an unflavored and unsweetened version. Having the option to just mix the raw powders into water or my own beverage without the unnecessary flavorings and sweeteners would be a game-changer. If you’re sensitive to artificial tastes or just prefer a "cleaner" experience, the current options might be a struggle.
Pros:
High-quality amino acid profile.
Trusted brand with great sourcing.
Cons:
Flavors are unpleasant and too sweet.
No "naked" or unflavored option available.
