Title‘The Road is Wider Than Long, Travels with MS’ draft
DescriptionA green display book with plastic sleeves contains a 104-page draft. The typed pages are more consistently formatted and the draft includes a cover featuring the book title and front and back scans of a postcard sent by Bryony Lavery to Lindsay Cooper before the 1992 premiere performance of The Road is Wider Than Long by Lontano As in the other drafts, there are colour and black and white photographs, and the order is different, with the text focusing on her international music career, structured largely by locations where she lived, worked, and performed. It also includes accounts of her multiple sclerosis (MS) diagnosis, relapses, and lived experience, as well as diary excerpts and thematic reflections on subjects such as anger, relationships, and her life. This version does not have duplicated material or an index, and concludes with a dated reflection from August 2001 on living with MS. In the back of the file, not in a plastic sleeve is a typed, untitled five-page anecdotal text about touring life in the 1970s.
