Joseph Heller, an important and funny writer now dead, and I were at a party given by a billionaire on Shelter Island. I said, “Joe, how does it make you feel to know that our host only yesterday may have made more money than your novel ‘Catch-22′ has earned in its entire history?” And Joe said, “I’ve got something he can never have.” And I said, “What on earth could that be, Joe?” And Joe said, “The knowledge that I’ve got enough.”

Thompson’s notebooks contain comments, musical notation, sketches, and phrases and their translations, along with ticket stubs, symposium programs, and photographs of interviewees. Here he shows a notebook with his sketches of puppets, and a postcard, from the Frida Kahlo Museum in Mexico city.
