Fireworks: Nine Profane Pieces
''Fireworks: Nine Profane Pieces'' (aka ''Fireworks: Nine Stories in Various Disguises'' or ''Fireworks'') is an anthology of short fiction by Angela Carter. It was first published in the United Kingdom in 1974 by Quartet Books Ltd. and contains a collection of stories, several of which are based on Carter's own experiences of living in Japan from 1969 to 1971. This period of her life can be counted as a turning point in terms of her writing as it marks the point at which feminism began to become a more central theme; as she notes herself in ''Nothing Sacred: Selected Writings'', "In Japan I learnt what it is to be a woman and became radicalised".〔''Nothing Sacred: Selected Writings'', (Virago, London: 1982) Page 28.〕 In 1988 it was also published in Canada under the name "Artificial Fire" which featured both ''Fireworks'' and the 1971 novel ''Love''''.
Stories included are "A Souvenir of Japan", "The Executioner's Beautiful Daughter", "The Loves of Lady Purple", "The Smile of Winter", "Penetrating to the Heart of the Forest", "Flesh and the Mirror", "Master", "Reflections" and "Elegy for a Freelance".
The anthology's contents are also reprinted in the volume ''Burning Your Boats'', which features all of Carter's short fiction.
