Author: Walter Abish Publisher: New Directions Publishing ISBN: 9780811205337 Category : Fiction Languages : en Pages : 168
Book Description
"Walter Abish has dovetailed his novel within a Procrustean scheme that has the terrifying and irrefutable logic of the alphabet. Alphabetical Africa is in the line of writers such as Raymond Roussel, Raymond Queneau, Georges Perec and Harry Mathews, who have used constrictive forms to penetrate the space on the other side of poetry." -- John Ashbery
