Doing early preparation for my trip to the Harry Ransom Center in the spring, I came across this interesting article in The New Yorker written by D.T. Max, who recently published a biography on DFW. The middle-third of the article provides a nice description of the DeLillo collection. For my own part, I'm excited to see and touch the pages of the drafts themselves, especially given DeLillo's penchant for emphasizing the importance of the visual nature of his typewriter-produced manuscripts.
Here's the link: "Final Destination: Why do the archives of so many great writers end up in Texas?"
Enjoy!
