- guides the reader through his collection of alphabet books, that is, books with letters for titles. Some of these titles are well known: Andy Warhol's a , Louis Zukofsky's "A" , Georges Perec's W . Others are obscure, perhaps even imaginary: Zach Sodenstern's A , Arnold Skemer's C and D . Tracing connections between these books, L. elaborates on what the critic Guy Davenport has called the "Kells effect": "the symbolic content of illuminated lettering serving a larger purpose than its decoration of geometry, imps, and signs." Mixing essay and fiction, A Die with Twenty-Six Faces is a playful meditation on contemporary literature, typography, and book collecting. Designed by the author.
