It's a post-collapse story where the narrator grows up scavenging books from ruins and becomes a writer as he follows his friend to war. In the army, he meets up with a journalist who introduces him to typewriters. <br /><br />The book isn't necessarily about him, but his growth as a writer is a part of the story, and getting his own typewriter allows his career to take off.-- John Burrowayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03585763527561649470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5771393570564645054.post-10197792507860203242018-11-09T09:24:08.816-08:002018-11-09T09:24:08.816-08:00Exciting to see this coming together!Exciting to see this coming together!-- John Burrowayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03585763527561649470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5771393570564645054.post-33099634250988729172018-11-07T11:53:18.028-08:002018-11-07T11:53:18.028-08:00The more I think about this project, the more exci...The more I think about this project, the more excited I become.
