Letters of Introduction
Overview
Featuring a newly made-up genre, the alphabet essay, this book examines the lives and works of 10 writers. Using the alphabet ("A is for . . . " to "Z is for . . . ") as the structure for the analysis, these essays explore the history and culture, private and intimate lives, anxieties, and achievements of each writer. The form is redolent of childhood, but the content is remote from childish things. The worlds of Hildegard of Bingen, William Blake, Duke Ellington, Sigmund Freud, the Harlem Renaissance, Paul Klee, and Andy Warhol are among those surveyed in an approach that imposes some wonderful juxtapositions and elicits delicious ironies.
