Curious Find
Jan. 3rd, 2004 06:31 pmI'm currently reading a copy of Robert Caro's Master of the Senate (the third volume of his immense biography of Lyndon Johnson) borrowed from the Cambridge Public Library, and as I was riffling through the notes at the back a loose sheet of paper fell out, on which is handwritten the following ( letter )
GMDVP, Google tells me, is the Gay Men's Domestic Violence Project. This suggests that a recent borrower of this copy was also a gay man. I can't think of any reason why this book, fascinating as it is, would be of particular interest to gay men.
Of course, the note could have been in the book for some time -- it might even have been found and replaced by one or more successive borrowers. There's no date or any other indication of when it was sent or when (or where) the event referred to took place.
Just another one of life's entertaining little puzzles.
