just gonna put this here
Approximate transcription: "Some of you fuckers complained that I didn't use periods in my last book. Take these ones and place them wherever you want Peace out and go to hell. [page and a half of random punctuation]"
In case you don't know, that's an excerpt from A Pickle for the Knowing Ones by Timothy Dexter, a man known for making terrible financial choices at the right time. For example, he sent coal to Newcastle, which arrived just after miners went on strike, so he made a fortune. His whole life is a farce.
Also:
Early metafiction is fun, if not especially easy to read.
Right page, 6th line, second character is wrong.
Cannot… unsee…
