from the table of contents in denis johnson's Jesus' Son comes this comment:
"This is a f**king beautiful book."
the words were penciled in and then erased, leaving only the impressions of the marks on the page. it was still legible. it was signed by E and dated 94.
i assume that the comment was erased by the either a library employee or the next reader of the book. or at least someone who felt it was not true: two conflicting sets of checks and plus/minus marks, these unerased, ran down the margin next to the titles of the stories.
i agree with the author of that comment.
the only other thing i have to say is that if someone is writing comments like this one in my books in the future, i will be happy.
