Abstract:
Consists primarily of the writings of
author Walter S. Tevis, 1928-1984. Tevis wrote several novels, and contributed numerous
short stories and articles to magazines. A number of his novels have been adapted for
film, including:
The Man Who Fell to Earth,
The Hustler and
The Color of
Money.
The collection contains early manuscripts, drafts, final manuscripts,
galleys and screen adaptations for most of his other longer works, although only a
photocopy of
The Hustler. In addition, there are
typescripts of a number of his articles, a play, some poetry, as well as many of his
short stories, both published and unpublished. The correspondence is small in number and
consists mostly of photocopies. However, there are three original letters from science
and fantasy fiction writer Fritz Leiber, and one each from authors E.L. Doctorow and
Herbert Gold.
