Essays and reminiscences reassessing Djuna Barnes, from her early New York journalism to The Antiphon (1954), including readings of Ryder, Ladies Almanack and Nightwood. The contributors show how Barnes challenged gender dichotomies, held radical sociopolitical views and used multiple voices and mixed forms against modernist ideals of a single unified text. Friends and contemporaries share personal recollections, and the volume includes photographs, drawings and an updated bibliography.
