Pg. 135 of David Markson’s copy of A Ringing Glass: The Life of Rainer Maria Rilke by Donald Prater:
On which David Markson put a check next to a mention of Gwendolen John:
“Augustus John’s sister Gwen, who had often posed for Rodin.”
—
The same Gwen about whom Markson says…
“Fleeing the start of World War II, Gwen John collapsed and died on a street in Dieppe.”
