This novel is entirely composed of typewriter poetry/art and its hero is named, Typoo. Earl Conrad (b. 1912 - d. 1986); birth name Cohen, was born and educated in Auburn, New York. He penned at least twenty works of biography, history, and criticism, including books in collaboration. At least one that he 'ghost' wrote, was the biography of actor Errol Flynn, titled "My Wicked, Wicked Ways". Earl Conrad did a great deal of favorable writing about African-Americans in the U.S. even though he was white. A duplicate reading copy is held by the Sackner Archive but the dust jacket is frayed and stained. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
