This is a book that is only meant for those who've read and loved David Markson's novels. Every honor and praise heaped upon his writing is deserved, and from the content of these postcards it seems he was a remarkable man as well. With luck, Dalkey Archive will publish a larger collection of his correspondence from when he was younger. I'd like to read all his books and eventually reread Wittgenstein's Mistress, his masterpiece. In the meantime, would anyone like me to send them a postcard? Markson's postcard writing inspired me to pick up the habit again (just wrote three).
