During a cold winter night that brings a hush to Providence, Rhode Island, one man is wide awake. Leaning over his desk, he covers page after page with writing \u2013 sometimes in ink, sometimes in pencil for revisions \u2013 as the pile of sheets stacks up. Shadows dance around him from the glow of his candle, which flickers with the slightest breath.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He had nearly finished it by the end of April, and then typed it himself. Possibly because no-one else would be able to decipher the maddening scrawl. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/2024-03-26_144454.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/2024-03-26_144454.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"528\" height=\"339\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-63590\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/2024-03-26_144454.jpg 613w, https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/2024-03-26_144454-528x339.jpg 528w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 528px) 100vw, 528px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t have the \u00a3170 for the hardback, you can also view the same pages free at the <a href=\"https:\/\/repository.library.brown.edu\/studio\/item\/bdr:425214\/\">Brown Digital Repository<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SP Books (&#8216;Editions des Saint Peres&#8217;) has spotted a niche for high-quality reproductions of author manuscripts.
