Entry 535 — My Latest Variation on a Work by Koppany
Today I’m getting work done on the little chapbook I’m publishing of Marton Koppany’s The Reader. One of its pages, tentatively is the one below, without the extra instances of “change.” They are my additions, which I impulsively added because I thought them terribly clever and witty. As a variation by Me, certainly not to be included in the book. Adequate to fill an entry I would have trouble filling otherwise. And it will give Marton an idea of what I’m doing to his poor manuscript (i.e., what I’m doing to crowd its lines so the book will be affordably short to publish.

Note: I rarely encounter anything by Marton that I don’t want to do some variation on. I’m sure I’ve done more than five or six, maybe as many as ten. I think one or two have been not completely lame.
