{"value"=>"<p>This series consists of microfilmed copies of book manuscripts written mostly, but not exclusively, by FSG authors c1973-c1986, including Carlos Fuentes, Knut Hamsun, Paul Horgan, Czeslaw Milosz, Flannery O'Connor, Derek Walcott, Edmund Wilson and Tom Wolfe. The microfilms were made for FSG, and presumably the original manuscripts were returned to the author or destroyed. Manuscripts in this series include both typescripts and published versions of books including editions published by companies other than FSG. Some manuscripts consist of stories and articles taken from such magazines as xxEsquirexx and xxThe New Yorkerxx collected together for creating anthologies. Most typescript manuscripts contain either editorial remarks or author's handwritten corrections ranging from small adjustments in wording to extensive revisions. In a few cases, there are books that were not originally published by FSG but were perhaps being considered for possible republication. Notable features of this series include letters, lectures, stories, interviews and book reviews of Flannery O'Connor. These include many letters of a personal nature to Maryat Lee, an interview conducted by Betsy Locheridge and numerous typescripts of O'Connor's lectures on Catholicism, fiction and the South delivered at various educational institutions. There are lengthy passages from Edmund Wilson's xxJournalsxx often in Wilson's own hand. Reels 173 and 175 are of special interest since magazine and newspaper articles, sketches, calendar entries, advertisements, maps and telegrams are often interspersed among Wilson's journal entries.</p>"}
