Authors on Marginalia
In the simplest terms, marginalia refers to any text written or printed in the margin of a page. But any marginalia sits on a border or edge, creating a liminal space. What is outside seeps into and affects what is inside, so that the original delineation becomes fuzzy. Here follow authors’ comments on the nature of marginalia, both literal and figurative.
