Mrs. Jose Casanova, June 2, 1964: Difference between revisions

I’m finishing the novel now,<ref>For the length of his career, he has faithfully answered serious letters from admirers. He was late with the long last installment of 19,972 words, which was due at the end of the third week of May for ''Esquire’s'' August issue, but turned it in shortly after this letter. ''Esquire'' had held the presses and saved space for the eighth installment, but it was so long that the second half had to be set in smaller type.</ref> so this will excuse, I hope, the briefness of this note, and also will give you in some forty-five or fifty days the opportunity to read the rest of the book, and tell me whether you think it comes together as a novel with overall meaning, or is just an elongated ''jeu des mots''. Please give me your reactions to it.
