MacInnes, Colin. Colin MacInnes letters, 1954-1969.

Title: Colin MacInnes letters, 1954-1969.

The collection consists of two typed letters: to Clifford and Marcella, 30 Sept. 1954, a personal letter full of news of his activities, about which he seems bitter and uninvolved; to Robie Macauley of Playboy magazine, 27 Nov. 1969, conerning a request by Playboy for MacInnes to write a short story, a genre he disdains with great eloquence. He proposes to submit a story on the theme of the shortcomings of the short story as an art form, and suggests no commitment be made to publish the story until it is completed.

Common themes in Jacobson's works include racial problems in South Africa, Judaism, and human consciousness. Many of Jacobson's critical works are also present, as are interviews with and articles about him. Most of the correspondence in the collection is incoming correspondence from publishers, periodicals, and other authors. Among the correspondents are Philip Larkin, Mary McCarthy, and Leonard Woolf. Also of significance are fifty-nine letters from Jacobson's literary agent, Henry Volkening, covering the years 1954-64. Among the few personal items in the collection are correspondence regarding Jacobson's application for the Somerset Maugham Award and correspondence relating to his role as a director of Index on Censorship.
