Alphabetical Africa, Walter Abish's delightful first novel, is an extraordinary linguistic tour de force, high comedy set in an imaginary dark continent that expands and contracts with ineluctable precision, as one by one the author adds the letters of the alphabet to his book, and then subtracts them. While the 'geoglyphic' African landscape forms and crumbles, it is, among other things, attacked by an army of driver ants, invaded by Zanzibar, painted orange by the transvestite Queen Quat of Tanzania, and becomes a hunting ground for a pair of murderous jewel thieves tracking down their nymphomaniac moll.

A realistic account of life in ancient Greece as experienced by an ordinary citizen of the time, the work presents the ancient Greeks not only in their role as founders of Western civilization but as people interesting in themselves. The author traces the development of early Greece from Mycenaean times, through the period of Homer and Archaic Greece, and finally the expansion of Greek culture following Alexander's conquests. The volume features color plates, halftones, maps, and charts that form an integral, visual complement to the text. Bibliographies, quotation sources, and a glossary provide additional study aids.
