The collection contains the correspondence of author Harlan Ellison, with the UCSB Library, regarding his Edwin and Jean Corle lecture at UCSB, 1983. He talks about being frustrated by categorizations that prevent him from reaching his intended audience. Also, there is a copy of the lecture, "A Love Song to Jerry Falwell," substantially revised from an earlier published version. The lecture was included in the Library's publication, Soundings, in 1984. Ellison resided in Sherman Oaks (Los Angeles area), California, during this period.
