Rainbow Run excerpts [typescript]

Carr-08-09

Physical Description:

A set of loose sheets bearing the heading “CHAPTER NINE” on the first page. John F. Carr has also written and signed a note on the first page that reads: “Rainbow Run excerpts,” referring to a novel written by himself and Camden Benares that was completed but never sold or published. The document begins with chapter nine on what is labeled page 96, and it ends at page 255, but there are many sections of pages out of order, so it is difficult to tell the exact length of the document. No editing marks appear in the draft.
