SECONDHAND BOOKS | Literary Fiction

Written on the bodyis a secret code only visible in certain lights- the accumulation of a lifetime gather there. In places the palimpsest is so heavily worked that the letters feel like braille. I like to keep my body rolled away from prying eyes, never unfold too much, tell the whole story. I didn't know that Louise would have reading hands. She has translated me into her own book.

1992. First edition. A near fine copy only marked by spotting on the top edge. The d/w is unclipped and also near fine with only superficial shelf rubbing.
