	KOSINSKI, JERZY. [1 PAGE TYPED LETTER SIGNED / TLS]. New Haven: np, 1971. First edition. 4to. Folded in thirds for mailing. Two tiny unobtrusive stains well below Kosinski's signature. In original envelope, roughly torn open. Else fine. On Kosinski's Yale Drama School letterhead to an unnamed book reviewer for the Omaha Nebraska World-Herald, dated October 28th, 1971. . Near Fine. Brief typed letter signed of about 100 words in thanks for a positive review of Kosinski's classic novella, Being There: "I can think of nothing more stimulating for an author than to have his vision so exactly seized upon and so lucidly presented to a wide audience. Yet, your critical analysis not only lends a new image to the novel; it prompts the novelist to discern what, without your perception, he never would have believed himself." Given Kosinski's famous mischievousness one can imagine the author writing similar notes to each reviewer of his books; nonetheless, a charming sentiment touching on what -- after the successful film adaptation by Hal Ashby starring Peter Sellers and with none of the attendant controversy of The Painted Bird -- will likely remain Kosinski's most enduring work.

	KOSINSKI, JERZY. [1 PAGE TYPED LETTER SIGNED / TLS]. New Haven: np, 1971. First edition. 4to. Folded in thirds for mailing. Two tiny unobtrusive stains well below Kosinski's signature. In original envelope, roughly torn open. Else fine. On Kosinski's Yale Drama School letterhead to an unnamed book reviewer for the Omaha Nebraska World-Herald, dated October 28th, 1971. . Near Fine. Brief typed letter signed of about 100 words in thanks for a positive review of Kosinski's classic novella, Being There: "I can think of nothing more stimulating for an author than to have his vision so exactly seized upon and so lucidly presented to a wide audience. Yet, your critical analysis not only lends a new image to the novel; it prompts the novelist to discern what, without your perception, he never would have believed himself." Given Kosinski's famous mischievousness one can imagine the author writing similar notes to each reviewer of his books; nonetheless, a charming sentiment touching on what -- after the successful film adaptation by Hal Ashby starring Peter Sellers and with none of the attendant controversy of The Painted Bird -- will likely remain Kosinski's most enduring work.
