Review of 'Letter to a Future Lover: Marginalia, Errata, Secrets, Inscriptions, and Other Ephemera Found in Libraries' on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
I was suckered into trying this book based on David Ulin's review in the Los Angeles Times. In particular, I wanted to see how Ander Monson set up the interaction between author and reader. "Write in this book," Monson instructs. This line is followed by a blank space, like this:
Wow, was I tempted. But it was a library book, a borrowed book.
I won't tell you whether or not I participated.
