This book was designed by Mike Hudson and type set by Jadwiga Jarvis. In Jarvis' essay on letterpress printing and documentation of the books published by Wayzgoose, she writes the following. It was presented to the press as a typed manuscript but careful rereadings revealed that the story was a sonata form. The basic elements which are a exposition, development and recapitulation. In the exposition, the emphasis is on contrast (even conflict) and the development and recapitulationare areas of tonal flux , usually a modulating or changing key. Brunsdon used the sonata form to indicate one woman's passage from sanity to madness. Jarvis and Hudson "set the text in a mixture of sans serif fonts (contrast & conflict) and printed the book in three shades of olive green (modulation & key changes). The lightest of the lines dealing with the protagonist's innermost thoughts, a medium shade for the composed,impersonal front she presented to the world, and an almost-but-not-quite black for the moments of madness...the words tumbled, competed, straggled, struggled, shouted, whispered, comforted, and disturbed - we had achieved our sonata." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
