One day, the owners of the Literati
Bookstore in Ann Arbor, Michigan, decided
to put a typewriter in the shop for customers
to use. Notes from a Public Typewriter is the
result of this social experiment. People of
all kinds left notes, including confessions,
poems, jokes and even a marriage proposal.
Punctuating the customers’ anonymous
notes are chapters written about daily life in
the shop, and the impact the typewriter had
on this. It’s a lovely account of how a piece
of obsolete machinery made an impact
on people’s lives, gave them a chance for
catharsis and brought them together.
