{"value"=>"<p>This series consists primarily of personal and fan letters to Monk from friends, collaborators and, in some cases, strangers. Correspondents include Björk, David Byrne, Michael Cerveris, Blythe Danner, Kenneth King and Rob McBrien (the latter two are longtime friends and collaborators of Monk), as well as Monk’s family and other close friends. Many of the letters are of congratulations following major events such as significant New York performances or the announcement of Monk’s MacArthur Fellowship. There are also nine folders of unidentified correspondents, arranged chronologically.</p>"}
