"Richard Burton, I am not," said David Markson, before reading the final pages of The Last Novel in his first and only appearance at the Poetry Center in November of 2007. Mr. Markson died on June, 4, 2010 at the age of eighty-two, and we offer this recording by way of tribute.

His introducer that night, Ann Beattie, once wrote: "No one but Beckett can be quite as sad and funny at the same time as Markson."

  • MARKSON

  • A true literary genius, perhaps his posthumous fame will surpass his Greenwich Village cult legacy.

  • Watching Markson on YouTube and thinking about his computer illiteracy.

    Markson.
