Title
Middle C - Chapter 40 with Corrections
Description
In what would become Middle C's chapter 40, originally chapter 45 in the manuscript, Gass made many holograph edits, most of which were not realized in the book. These scans come from the "Page proof with corrections" in Box 120 Folders 4-7 of the William Gass Papers. Throughout this complete draft, Gass made holograph corrections, additions and deletions. With the exception of the five deleted chapters, the vast majority of these changes did not happen.
