The book index
Good day. Happy Day. Marlowe sent me the index for my book – MY BOOK HAS AN INDEX. SOME INDEXER SOMEWHERE RAN INDEXER SOFTWARE AND MADE THE INDEX FOR MY BOOK. Somehow this is one of those signifiers of the book’s real existence. Looking at the index it’s like seeing something from another planet – indexes come from books, and books are written by OTHER people. Totally wild and bizarre. I’m uplifted by the existence of an index.
