Ladies Almanack
Djuna Barnes
Djuna Barnes must have had great fun writing and illustrating this book. It’s a lively lampoon of her lesbian chums of Left Bank Paris in the 1920s. The main character, Dame Evangeline Musset, is based on the notorious dyke Natalie Barney. Structured as a month-by-month almanac in a style that owes as much to Shakespeare’s comedies as to any literature of the intervening centuries, Barnes’s book follows the Dame’s amorous, often naughty, adventures.
