novel typewriter


From the book, Still Life with Woodpecker by Tom Robbins

"Perhaps what a novelist needs is a different sort of writing implement.

"...a carved typewriter, hewn from a single block of sacred cypress; decorated with mineral pigments, berry juice, and mud; its keys living mushrooms, its ribbon the long irridescent tongue of a lizard."
