About
Published in 1991 to raise money for the Aids Crisis Trust, Hockney's Alphabet pairs 26 alphabetical illustrations by David Hockney with written contributions from some of the most distinguished writers of the late twentieth century. Edited by Stephen Spender, all the contributors agreed to write something, with the exception of Norman Mailer ('F'), whose letter of refusal was included anyway as 'a good model of Polite Rejection'. The letter written by T.S. Eliot (one of two for 'Q') was donated by Valerie Eliot.
