Another odd typesetting error, this time from the Bantam Classics pressing of Charlotte Brontë’s Villette.
Nothing more to say here except it’s fun to read Brontë or Jansson in unintentional Burroughsian cut-up mode and it’s weird I’ve come across the opportunity twice in a month.
“I have tried. I have done everything to be just like everybody else. I have tried to be down to earth. Digging my hands deep into the sand pile on Sixth Avenue. Touching the ground in Central Park with my bare feet. But I remain a stranger here. There is a distance between me and every building, every street, every face.”
Jonas Mekas
