Scope and Contents

This novel consists of a first and last section, four and six pages in length, respectively. The other sections range from one to 12 pages in length. The reader is instructed to read the first and last sections of the book in their order while reading the other 25 sections in random order. The story revolves around a football reporter who visits a city and regains lost memories of the time he spent there many years before with a friend and his wife. Insofar as the page layout, Johnson utilizes wide spacing between words for paragraphs or dashes. Marc Saporta also published a novel, "Composition No.1," (1963) translated from the French in the same format as this book, unbound pages meant to be read in any order. Saporta's book is also held by the Sackner Archive. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
