Bayamus and Cardinal Polatuo
and
The Mystery of the Sardine
And have posted reviews + excerpts. All three were fantastic

(Kavan is someone I was always on the verge of entering into the BBC, having been the first (sometimes still only) reviewer of many of her works, but I feel like she's exploded back into readership in the last couple years. Seemingly a GR word-of-mouth success story.)

Two options. If you look closely you'gg find the two Folders (probably not showing on the front page anymore) :: something about BURIED Books by KNOWN Authors and one about BURIED Then, Knot BURIED Now. Which ever you think is adequate -- the latter one if, like Moby-Dick, her books either went into dormancy or just never got read from the beginning (until now).

Stefan and Franciszka Themerson published books through their own Gaberbocchus Press from 1948 to 1979, many of them with Franciszka's illustrations, and sometimes working with the translators Barbara Wright and Stanley Chapman. Among those books were works by Guillaume Apollinaire and Kurt Schwitters, the first English translation of Alfred Jarry's Ubu Roi, Raymond Queneau's Exercises in Style and The Good Citizen's Alphabet by Bertrand Russell. The latter wrote a warm preface to Professor Mmaa’s Lecture.
