Materials Specific Details

42 numbered leaves plus 33 unnumbered pages towards the end of the notebook. There are only two recorded dates: May 24, 1956 and June 4. Notes on red ink were probably done later, when organizing the material to be sold. The reverse side of the beginning of the notebook constitutes a different set of ideas, drafts and notes.

Index Card: Partly dated: 24 May 1956 to June 6 1956. Partly is the actual writing of the beginning of CORONACION. It overlaps in dates with the preceding notebook. Content: Drafts and notes for different chapters of Coronación. Works In Progress: Coronación: 1- 42 and unnumbered pages towards the end of the notebook (Characters: Lourdes, Estela’s father, Estela, Moisés, Misiá Elisita, Andrés Arévalos, Rosario, Don Ramón, Carlos Gros, Don Segundo, Don Fornino, Dora, Mario); Poems towards the end of the notebook. Work Plans: Planning notes are often interrupted by drafts. For example, the notes on page 100 do not continue on leaf 101 but jump to 119 and then continue to leaf 122.
