How It All Goes Down
May 27, 1992
- Charlie tells us that reading about Ayn Rand made him want to write a story.
- So he writes one sentence: "Ian MacArthur is a wonderful sweet fellow who wears glasses and peers out of them with delight" (4.7.3).
- Hooked? Want to read more? Too bad. That's the only line Charlie writes.
- He spends the rest of the letter thinking about his own graduation… which, in case you (or he) didn't realize, is over three years away.
