The Fate of the Mailer Letters
news item by cheyne , Reader of classic lit and tech textbooks!
Norman Mailer fans interested in peeking at an archive of his letters to legends such as Allen Ginsberg, Truman Capote, Aldous Huxley, John Lennon, and Muhammad Ali, should steamroll it on over to the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center at the University of Texas. Mailer died on Nov. 10, but sold the archive of his personal work and letters to the university in 2005.

Mailer, a Pulitzer Prize winner, is the author of many distinguished titles such as The Armies of the Night, The Executioner's Song, and The Naked and the Dead.
