Lint in Literature: Mannequin Girl by Ellen Litman

I started reading Mannequin Girl by Ellen Litman last night. What a treat to see the word lint used twice in the first paragraph!

Here's the first time lint is used:

Later she takes the dress off, puts it back on its hanger, 
makes sure there's not a speck of lint on it, 
not a wrinkle on the seat of the skirt.

Then later, this sentence appears, very similar to the first:

Slowly, lovingly, she takes off her dress, 
makes sure there's not a speck of lint of it, 
returns it to the hanger. 

I think I'm really going to like this novel about a Russian girl with scoliosis of the spine.
