Letter to a Future Lover: Marginalia, Errata, Secrets, Inscriptions, and Other Ephemera Found in Libraries
A Graywolf Press collection of short prose pieces triggered by found objects in library books: marginalia, bookmarks, inscriptions, errata. Ander Monson treats each scrap as a message across time, and the result is part essay, part investigation, part love letter to institutional collections. The book is handsomely designed, as Graywolf books usually are, with a cover that hints at the found-paper aesthetic inside. Graywolf gave it a trim size slightly larger than a standard paperback, which suits the essay-as-artifact conceit. Ideal reader: the reader who cannot resist flipping through a used book for someone else's handwriting, or the librarian who needs reassurance that patrons do more than scan shelves.
