My grandpa sent me this book a while back, when I wasn't reading. I'm going to spend all of next week with him (first time I'll have seen him in possibly ten years!!), so I need to read this, finally. I love my grandpa. 😍

Foote to Percy: "By the way, have I ever thanked you for never advancing the notion that there is something or other I ought to read or write? Well I do."
A self-deprecating comment. Foote's letters to Percy are peppered with reading suggestions - Proust, Dante, Joyce and Mann lead the way - along with suggestions for the shape of Percy's next novel.
Soundtrack while reading - The Best of Frank Stokes

This is really a slog so far, because the early correspondence is all one-way - Foote's letters to Percy - and my God, the young Foote is a pretentious thing. I can't read more than a couple letters before I have to stop.
