InA Die With Twenty-Six Faces, the author guides us through his collection of books with letters for titles, referred to as alphabet books. Some of these titles are familiar, such asJohn UpdikesS.,Georges Perecs W, andLouis ZukofskysA. Others are obscure, perhaps even imaginary, likeArnold SkemersCandD, orZach SodensternsA. Tracing connections between these books, the author elaborates on the symbolic content of letters, Joycean characters,Franz Kafka, Guy Davenport, and libraries within libraries. Designed by the author and mixing essay and fiction, the book is a playful meditation on contemporary literature, typography, and book collecting. Thanks toRoma Publications(Amsterdam).
