Fare Forward: Letters from David Markson

Apr 24 ’06

Sims — yeah!

Great review, the Mid-American thing!⁸⁰ Did you send her a gushing let’s-be-friends-forever letter?

In Minneapolis, say hello to Eric Lorberer (Ed., Rain Taxi) — (never met — a few brief exchanges.)

For your mystery addiction⁸¹—Counterpoint are re-doing my two private eye novels⁸² (two in one volume), maybe late this year. But you’ll be in Japan, no? Too bad, kid.

Hey, love again—

D.

80 I sent him a copy of a good review of Practice, Restraint that had appeared in the Mid-American Review.

81 I was deep into novels by Henning Mankell, Patricia Highsmith, and Ruth Rendell at the time.

82 Epitaph for a Tramp and Epitaph for a Dead Beat, both highly entertaining and full of Markson-esque allusions.
