Fare Forward: Letters from David Markson

Feb 7 ’03

Dear Laura S—

A P.S.: I still regret that inadequate answer to your letter. (Whatever it is, here — age, the rotten weather, my 97 sundry infirmities, etc.) But it does occur to me to add: if you ever do write an essay on my work, don’t hesitate if/when you have any questions — of any sort — textual, biographical, your choice. Be my pleasure, seriously.

Yours again—

David M.

Incidentally, Astoria³ is by chance named in my new ms!⁴

3 My neighborhood in New York at the time.

4 What would be Vanishing Point.
