{"value"=>"<p>The largest series in this collection focuses on Egbuna's writings. The first subseries, General, includes correspondence, mostly with publishers but also with individuals and groups interested in producing his plays; publishing contracts; research material, such as newspaper clippings and journal articles, most likely used in his writing and teaching; and reviews. The second subseries, Articles and essays, mostly contains typescripts of essays, many of which are undated. It is unclear if all of these essays, aside from the one noted, were published. \"The Scepter in Mount Pleasant\" was a letter written on behalf of an unknown research team signed with the name \"UZI\"; letters to various newspapers are included, asking for the letter to be published. The two items listed in the third suseries, Book manuscripts, are drafts of unpublished books (one fictional and the other nonfictional), also undated. The fourth series, Plays, mostly consists of typescripts, with the exception of <span class=\"title\">Divinity</span>, which is a small reading guide published by Ernst Klett in Stuttgart with an introduction by Inge Uffelmann. <span class=\"title\">Didi's Mirror</span> is an adaptation of <span class=\"title\">The Madness of Didi</span>, written by Egbuna for the Howard University Theatre in 1983. \"Onugbu: A Theory of Tragedy\" consists of drafts and typescripts of this unpublished and undated play. <span class=\"title\">The Wind</span> is a playscript developed from his first novel. The fifth subseries, Stories, is comprised of typescripts of stories and story collections, with the exceptions of a shorter version of \"A Black Candle for Christmas\" that appeared in the <span class=\"title\">New Statesman</span> in its December 1971 issue, and \"Blind Date\", written for the July 1973 issue of <span class=\"title\">The Hoe</span>, which was the quarterly literary magazine of the Writers' Workshop in Enugu, Nigeria. Other typescripts, such as \"Da Vinchi's Curtain\" and \"The Homosexual\", were included in later story collections. \"The Homosexual and Other Stories\", an unpublished typescript, includes stories later included in <span class=\"title\">The Rape of Lysistrata</span>. \"Rivers Can't Speak\", probably unpublished, may have been written as a class assignment. The final subseries, Other, includes handwritten notes, single pages of typescript, and short essays that appear to express Egbuna's thoughts, responses, and critiques on various subjects.</p>"}
