GISTS, ORTS, SHARDS II
Addendum & Postlude for
A Commonplace Book
JONATHAN GREENE
As Robert Richardson Jr. said of Thoreau,
quoting what Augustine is reported to have
remarked of Varro (one of the many delightful
discoveries awaiting in this new volume), we
can truly say of Jonathan Greene “that he read
so much that it was a marvel he ever had time to
write anything, and wrote so much that it was
difficult to see how he found time to read” –
except with Greene we must add his prolific
output as a designer and publisher of books as
well!  We can all be grateful once more for
Greene’s broad and perceptive reading, for this
companion volume to his
Gists, Orts, Shards:  
A Commonplace Book
offers another installment
of essential thought and marvelous wit distilled
from the world’s literature, joined here with
excepts from Greene’s own literary notebooks.  
Readers of the original volume know the treat
they have in store, while those discovering
Greene’s gift for “reading with a pen” for the
first time are apt to find that they see literature,
and life, in a new way after this introduction.
