Mailer Papers to be Available to Public

According to an article posted on the site of the Chronical of Higher Education's web site, Norman Mailer's Papers will be made available to the public.

Mailer died in November and the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center at the University of Texas announced it will make its collection available to the public, according an article on the site posted by Jennifer Howard.

The collection includes the manuscripts of Mailer's books, 40,000 letters, research materials, photographs, scrapbooks, awards and professional and personal life documents spanning the majority of the writer's 84 years. There is also a running discussion via letters between Mailer and his Japanese translator about the meaning of Mailer's works.
