Description
Gerald Murnane's Last Letter to a Reader is a unique project that brings together his life's work. In this final work, he reads through all his books and prepares reports on each, which eventually take the form of a book themselves. This collection of miniature memoirs or stories explores Murnane's mind, delving into circumstances that gave rise to his writing, images and associations, and memories of a deeply personal kind. The essays in Last Letter to a Reader consider themes such as fiction, theory, and the act of writing, offering a moving conclusion to what is likely Murnane's last work. Written in the author's own voice, these reflections are both beguiling and hallucinatory, inviting readers into his inner world. As Murnane approaches death, he writes a final essay that is both an expression of his love for writing and a poignant farewell to his readers.
