Signed Autograph Letter to Stephen

N.p., 1980. Very Good. N.p.: ca. 1980? One-page illustrated autograph letter (28x21.5cm.) signed from Katya to Stephen. Wrinkling from handling, small abrasion to paper not compromising text, else Very Good.

Free of mail folds, leading us to assume either this bizarre epistle was never sent or was passed to Stephen in the middle of study hall, the letter beginning (in pen, pencil, and then different pen), "Dear Stephen, I'm very proud of my self. I just finished studying dilidently [sic] for a huge French test covering all the stuff we've learned this year. Actually I'll probably fail the test."

Katya goes on, "I didn't like On the Road. Why *must* I like [sic]. It's such a bore. Honestly I couldn't finish it. It's a waste of time. First I went there then we went there. That [sic] we saw this. Then he did this Than [sic] I ate that and we went there + then we went there etc."

The letter concludes with Katy's struggles with art class: "My art teacher said there is something wrong with me...She also says my work is very primitive." Perhaps to prove this, the letter signs off on the verso with several crude doodles surrounding the lines "I'm very depressed. FUCK. Love, Katya."

Overall a sound female assessment of one of male America's literary darlings.
