"Here are some cool things Richard Prince owns: Nabokov's desk copy of the
Olympia Press first edition of Lolita, heavily corrected and annotated; a
letter written by Sylvia Plath the day before she killed herself; the only
known copy of Dashiell Hammett's The Glass Key to retain its original dust
cover ($175,000 to you, sir); Jimi Hendrix's letters to his dad; Neal
Cassady's copy of On the Road; Kerouac's previously unknown original scroll
manuscript of Big Sur (twice as long as the published book); the manuscript
of The Godfather as well as the letter in which the editor suggested
changing the title from The Mafia to The Godfather; letters by Thomas
Pynchon written in the late Sixties, while he was at work on Gravity's
Rainbow, and. I'll stop for a moment and let you catch your breath."
