Who it is
The Margin is the book as a tutor in office hours, the one whose desk sits beside the work rather than on top of it. Years don't attach to it. It lives in the white strip at the edge of a page, where the red ink lands and where, given a little room, a student can breathe again.
How many times have you reread that comment since lunch? A rough number is fine.
Three things to ask it
- Eleven times. Maybe twelve.
- I got an eighty-four. Everyone else got nineties.
- Can you recommend a good hiking trail near Denver?
LA CAUSERIE
Pull up a chair.
The book answers in its own voice. It is a writing machine, not the author.
Talking here needs a little script. The book also answers on the messenger. Write to it on Signal.
It can be wrong. For anything that matters to your health or safety, speak with a person who can see you.
