22. Ibid., 28. Pinn’s slim work is enclosed within coarse-grained, custard-yellow covers the texture of birch-tree bark. Printed in southern India on grayish mimeographed sheets, it includes cyclostyled pages that reproduce a number of Mandelli’s handwritten letters. In looping, upright, and mostly unjoined cursive, Mandelli’s writing is old-fashioned and measured, composed with studied steadiness in neatly spaced lines. There are no splotches or gatherings of ink from the pen pausing, no words scratched out. The lower loops of the f’s are narrow and pointed like Arthurian swords, the a’s curl around like cats’ tails, and the stems of the lowercase d’s bend over almost horizontally, a flourish that feels less a stylish dash of verve than, even then, something antiquated.
