There’s something in here that’s been bothering me, still bothers me – Kurt Vonnegut’s Smith-Corona. I see now that it’s under glass. Why’s it still minty-fresh, why aren’t any letters worn off their keys, like on my car door remote?
Are we to believe he composed his masterpiece (choose one) here, or was this a Christmas, Birthday, or Father’s Day what-do-we-get-Dad gift – annoyed by the maddening repetitive characters when he absent-mindedly leaned on a key, or lingered too long on a character – he tried once, never used again, returning to his trusty manual?
They had more than one of these at the Vonnegut Memorial Library, and an explanation. I think it may only have been used for a later book or two. Worth a visit if you’re in Indianapolis sometime. If it weren’t under glass, I would have been hard pressed not to touch it!
