Org - Other Writing Salinger. This page has been substantially rewritten to conform to the wishes of Harold Ober Associates, Salinger's literary agency. They objected to my use of quotes from unpublished work, and we agreed to remove these. There are a number of Salinger papers in the University of Texas at Austin's Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center rare books collection .
Access is quite restricted, though.
Included in the materials from Story magazine deposited in the Archives at Princeton University Library are thirty-six letters and post cards from Salinger to the personnel at Story magazine, most to White Burnett, editor. Each citation contains a listing of the date or an approximation, the return address, the salutation, length, and an indication of whether typed or handwritten. Salinger provides autobiographical information for Story magazine, perhaps as a classroom assignment in Burnett's short story class at Columbia University, comments on the short story class, on his personality, and on his emotional state. Salinger ends by criticizing himself. Most of the letter concerns Salinger's desire to write plays and to act in them himself.
