In the Line of Duty

 

 

This bookmark fought valiantly. It never shirked its load. It never complained, even when it was right in the thick of it, with four hundred pages of Anna Karenina bearing down from either side. Through Hemingway and Ian Rankin, from Cornel West to the darkest edges of Harold Bloom, through Team of Rivals and countless pro wrestling biographies, I've been honoured to call you bookmark, place-saver, friend. You can rest now, brother.
