Today on Access Utah we discuss the companion volume to the international bestseller Letters of Note. It’s an assortment of correspondence that spans centuries and place--and an array of human emotions--written by the famous, the not-so-famous, and the downright infamous. Among this selection are an Egyptian customer complaint (written on a clay tablet); a hungover Jane Austen’s report on a ball; an American intelligence officer’s letter to his young son on Hitler’s letterhead; an invitation from John Lennon to Eric Clapton to join his band; and Albus Dumbledore’s rejection of a Muggle’s application for a teaching position at Hogwarts.
Shaun Usher is writer and founder of the blog-based archives Letters of Note and Lists of Note, hugely popular internationally and which have inspired books of the same name edited by him. He lives in the U.K. He runs the websites, lettersofnote.com, listsofnote.com and shaunusher.com.
