'An Illustrated Alphabet for the Illiterate is a fun little book that is playfully written by a talented author and his talented daughter. The glimpses of stories on each page may not deliver a moral or a point, in fact, many seem to hardly even make sense. But they do make sense, if only in that they simply celebrate the experience of writing. And in turn, they encourage Kurz's ever present theme of perception. This book won't teach you how to lose weight, make a million dollars, or become a better person, it won't even teach you how to spell correctly. The authors of the book don't make any claims or promises, and in failing to do so, are able to offer a book that reminds its readers of writing's most important purpose: to entertain.'

Reseña del editor
`Sin creates [ an inclination ] to sin; it engenders vice by repetition of the same acts. This results in perverse inclinations which cloud conscience and corrupt the concrete judgement of good and evil. Thus sin tends to reproduce itself and reinforce itself, but it cannot destroy the moral sense at its root.'
-- Para. 1865, Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1994.

Soft cover. Condición: New. 1st Edition. Original printed wraps. 64 pp. Octavo. The work of two illiterate elephants in the china shop of letters and language, An Illustrated Alphabet for the Illiterate attempts to be no more than what it is -- a bizarre and entertaining little book, fun to look at and fun to read! Rudolf (the artist) studied the letters of the alphabet from the point-of-view of an illiterate, unspoiled child and saw surprising shapes in them. Then Rudolf and his Goth daughter Elizabeth (who had just turned sixteen at the time) each wrote thirteen short vignettes, stories and poems to accompany the twenty-six letters. Their two voices are easy to distinguish: the old voice is silly and nonsensical whereas the teenaged girl sounds brooding, mysterious and melancholy. Encompassing as it does, in twenty-six short epistles, all of the seven capital sins, An Illustrated Alphabet for the Illiterate is encyclopaedic in its reach and catholic in its taste. An exposition of the food chains of various ecosystems is interspersed with a fanciful bestiary of toucans and dragons, faeries and a unicorn and even includes a sympathetic depiction of polycystic ovary syndrome sure to strike a chord with the afflicted. Printed offset by Tim Inkster on the Heidelberg KORD at the printing office of the Porcupine's Quill in the Village of Erin, Wellington County, Ontario, Canada. Smyth sewn into 16-page signatures with hand-tipped endleaves front and back. Signed by Author(s). Nº de ref. del artículo: 0889842787
