28 April 2009: The Color Blue; 3rd Person

Kathy Sennott wrote her name on the title page of a copy of Great Jones Street, her printing was a rectangle that would prove a T-square to be at 89 degrees. The writer didn’t notice this when he first flipped through it. He did notice, though, that a previous owner had been in conversation with the copy by underlining, bracketing, and making notations on portions of the text. Thorough at first, or enthusiastic at least, the highlighting of passages and phrases slowly waned up to page 100 but picked up around 180 and remained frequent through the final 40 pages.
