David Jalajel

Cthulhu on Lesbos


Published by Ahadada 2011

Edition 1st

Condition Mint

’David Jalajel collages text selected from H.P.Lovecraft’s story "The Call of Cthulhu" into Sapphic stanzas that refract Lovecraft’s narrative through non-Euclidean syntax. Horrifying implications rush at the reader between the text’s prepositions and their vanished objects. In Lovecraft’s story, there is tension between the narrator’s skepticism and his accepting the bizarre claims of the manuscripts he has found. In Jalajel’s Sapphics, there is a parallel tension between syntactical sense and the weird suggestions of the phrases cut and shuffled into a classical form.’ Gene Doty
