 File — Box: 193, Folder: 15

Scope and Contents

BOOK TWO, a really short version labelled Jmonique.18w. Like BOOK ONE directly above, this draft is pretty clean, very simple, and presumes that "less is more." There's an 8-page flashback to their marriage taken from Jmonique.18k. Story doesn't dwell on Brownie abuse. Describes my letters late in life asking Pop about Monique. Plus our long phone calls when he relates in detail facts of their marriage long ago. And ms. also recounts the times I spent with Dad when he was dying. Epilogue kind of sums up my life with him. End of this manuscript has 5 pages, partially hand written, summing up my life experience with my father. 134 pages.
