fragmentary-text

This editor's note explains the unconventional physical format and writing process of the book, highlighting that the author wrote the text on various scraps of paper found in a library, using pencil, and arranged the pages sequentially despite their fragmentary nature. It discusses the possible motivations behind this method, the inclusion of drawings of tombstones, and editorial decisions such as the use of numerals instead of words and capitalization choices. The note concludes with the editor's decision to respect the author's peculiarities rather than alter them.
