Letters of Note: Volume 2: An Eclectic Collection of Correspondence Deserving of a Wider Audience by Shaun Usher
5.0
This is really extraordinarily delightful!
Keep this book on your coffee table to both entertain and learn from.
These letters, memos, and notes would never be seen otherwise--and they're almost always hilarious or remarkable. It's like going through the attic of an incredibly worldly and well-connected grandmother!
Some personal favorites: Ursula K. LeGuin's fabulously worded refusal to blurb a book (page 146), Hunter S. Thompson's foul-mouthed rejection of Anthony Burgess's 50,000 word novella (page 188), and the indescribable anti-social memorandum found on page 86 which describes all of us, some of the time.
