A delightful investigation of the art of letter writing, Yours Ever explores masterpieces dispatched through the ages by messenger, postal service, and BlackBerry.
ย
Here are Madame de Sรฉvignรฉโs devastatingly sharp reports from the French court, F. Scott Fitzgeraldโs tormented advice to his young daughter, the casually brilliant musings of Flannery OโConnor, the lustful boastings of Lord Byron, and the prison cries of Sacco and Vanzetti, all accompanied by Thomas Mallonโs own insightful commentary. From battlefield confessions to suicide notes, fan letters to hate mail, Yours Ever is an exuberant reintroduction to a vast and entertaining literatureโa book that will help to revive, in the digital age, this glorious lost art.
