Beskrivelse af The Ladies Almanack
The Ladies Almanack is a satirical novel by Djuna Barnes that was first published in 1928. The book is a fictionalized account of the lives and loves of lesbians in Paris in the 1920s, and is presented as a series of humorous and irreverent biographical sketches. The book is divided into twelve chapters, one for each month of the year, and includes a variety of characters, such as the famous lesbian writer Natalie Clifford Barney, as well as lesser-known figures from the lesbian community. The book is written in a highly stylized, poetic language that is both witty and satirical. The Ladies Almanack is also notable for its illustrations, which were drawn by Barnes herself. The drawings are highly stylized and often abstract, and are meant to complement the text of the book. Overall, The Ladies Almanack is a unique and groundbreaking work of lesbian literature that offers a humorous and irreverent look at the lives of lesbians in Paris in the 1920s. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of LGBTQ literature and culture.Oh Zeus! Oh Diane! Oh Hellebore! Oh Absalom! Oh Piscary Right! What shall I do with it! To have been the First, that alone would have gifted me! As it is, shall I not pour ashes upon my Head, gird me in Sackcloth, covering my Nothing and Despair under a Mountain of Cinders, and thus become a Monument to No-Ability for her sake?This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
