First sentence: The Autobiography of the Puritan minister Thomas Shepard, Susan Howe says in The Birth-mark, was originally written in "one half of a small leather-bound pocket notebook"; if you turn the notebook over and upside down, you find what Howe calls "another narrative by the same author," one that she characterizes as "more improvisational" and that Shepard's editors call "notes."
