Favorite author signatures
paperhaus August 28th, 2008
Today on Jacket Copy you’ll find a whole series of author signatures and the stories behind them. This one is mine, and it’s last. The far-more-luminary contributors are Maud Newton, Nam Le, Claire Zulkey, Said Sayrafiezadeh, Jami Attenberg, Anne Fernald and Mark Haskell Smith.
The backstories are so good that I almost think we should be required to add them to our signed books, on special bookplates on the back overleaf.
sweet. i got a Harlan Ellison on purpose and a T.C. Boyle by accident. but if i could do it over, it would be reversed. “Descent of Man” is a perfect story.
