Memoirs of many in one [manuscript]. [1984 or 1985]

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/225809719

Handwritten working manuscript of "Memoirs of many in one", the fictional memoirs of White's actress friend Alex Xenophon Demirjian Gray as edited by him. It is one of the two drafts prepared by White (see David Marr's biography). The manuscript, written in blue ballpoint on both sides of lined foolscap paper, includes White's draft introduction and his considerable changes and additions to the main text in red ballpoint. It is signed by White on the title page and is segmented into parts I, II, III, IV and V. The pages are not numbered. According to Marr, the first draft of this novel was written in 1984 and the second draft in 1985. It is not apparent whether the manuscript is the first or second draft.
