If you’ve been very gentle, Santa might bring you Cormac McCarthy’s old Olivetti typewriter for Christmas. But you better have been exceptionally good, because the typewriter recently sold at auction for $254,500, more than ten times the price Christie’s anticipated it would summon. (Via Twitter.com/SarahW ) Randy Kennedy of the New York Times wrote:
“A heavily weathered, light unhappy, Lettera 32 Olivetti manual machine that Mr. McCarthy said he bought in 1963 for $50 and used to category all his novels, including a couple that won a Pulitzer Prize and a National Book Award, sold Friday at Christie’s to an unfamiliar American collector for $254,500, more than 10 times its high estimate of $20,000. (The price includes Christie’s commission.) The proceeds will be donated to the Santa Fe Originate, a nonprofit interdisciplinary scientific research organization.”
• Thanks to all of you who left comments on my annual Best of the West Books lists that ran last week. I unambiguously forgot that this year also marks the end of a decade, so that we’re required to make our best of the decade book lists, too. I’m wealthy to leave that up to you all—what were your favorite Western books of the decade?
