Notes: "The Letter Book comprises the entire content of a long letter Aram Saroyan received from his father, the novelist William Saroyan, in 1968. Aram composed the book by breaking up the text of the letter into discrete fragments and typing each in the center of a separate sheet of paper. The first sentence, published in Adventures in Poetry, yielded 16 recto pages of poetry; the whole letter yields 195 recto pages."--Publisher's website.
