Overview
The Ladies Almanack is a novel written by Djuna Barnes, originally published in 1928. It is a satirical account of the lesbian community in Paris during the 1920s, and is presented as a fictional almanac. The book is divided into twelve months, with each month featuring a different woman from the community, and includes illustrations and poetry. The book is known for its unique style, which combines prose, poetry, and illustrations, and for its humorous and irreverent tone. It is also notable for its portrayal of lesbian relationships and sexuality, which was groundbreaking for its time. The Ladies Almanack has been praised for its wit, its celebration of female friendship and sexuality, and its contribution to the literary canon of LGBTQ+ literature. It remains a classic of lesbian literature and a must-read for anyone interested in the history of LGBTQ+ writing.Oh Zeus! Oh Diane! Oh Hellebore! Oh Absalom! Oh Piscary Right! What shall I do with it! To have been the First, that alone would have gifted me! As it is, shall I not pour ashes upon my Head, gird me in Sackcloth, covering my Nothing and Despair under a Mountain of Cinders, and thus become a Monument to No-Ability for her sake?This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
