I wrote a funny (I hope) little thing on the act of burning books, and then today, read this funny little thing about Edward Albee’s will, which stipulates that his unfinished work be burnt after he died. Here’s the important bit:
Was he working on anything when he died? We may never know.
Why not? He requested that all his unfinished manuscripts be destroyed after his death.
In another part of this “article” (faux Q&A?) the writer says that the executors plan to grant Albee’s wishes. Which made me really curious: was Albee a longhand man? Meaning: do they need to destroy physical works? And if so, would they let me attend the bonfire? I will absolutely not sneak a peek at anything! I would consider that a sacrilegious act. I’m considering writing a note to the two executors, named in the New York Times, asking for permission, but I very much doubt they’ll be open to it.
