About This Item
Barnes, Djuna. Creatures in an Alphabet. New York: Dial Press, 1982. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine copy in a Fine priceclipped dust jacket. Djuna's Alphabet book is patterned after medieval bestiaries, on every page there is an animal, some of recognizable type (quail and donkey) while others are grotesquely malformed or as chimerical as the creature on the cover, looking as if it's a transplant from one of Terry Gilliam's Python skits. The book, at first glance, gives the proper appearance of children's poems, each verse made of four short lines.
