Also, I see you mistaken my location with that of the great Kevin from Canada. I do most of my reading and blogging somewhere between New Jersey where I live and New York where I work :)

Hi Lisa, I’m so glad you read and enjoyed this book. I still think about it often. It still sits in my mind as one of the rare books that experiments with form and gets it right.

I’ve read it at last! And not having looked at your blog post till I needed the URL to thank you for bringing this book to my attention, I find I have also concluded my post by quoting the last lines. For some reason, they remind me of John Donne. http://anzlitlovers.wordpress.com/2010/04/06/the-unfortunates-by-b-s-johnson-2/

I weakened! Yes, I’m supposed to be buying Xmas presents for other people not for me, but your post kept resonating and in the end I ordered it – and it arrived tonight.
I can’t decide what to do. Shall I read it in the random order as sent, or rearrange it into a new random order? Shall I skulk around on the net for some guidance about what order seems best? I keep picking up the set of sections, still held together by their red wrapper, and fidgeting with the package. It’s such nice paper too, and the box is gorgeous.
What fun!
