The Harry Ransom Center: Collecting with a vengeance | The Economist
DAVID MAMET had a problem. After several dozen plays, he was famous enough
to feel bad about binning the stacks of notebooks and marginalia that most
writers should send straight to recycling. “Why,” he recalls wondering, “had
I collected this mass of junk, most of which I never wanted to see again?”
So when dealers from the University of Texas at Austin’s Harry Ransom Center
came calling, it was a lucky break. Surely there was someone with “a surfeit
of time and an interest in the arcane”, who might find such things useful,
or at least diverting, he said at the time.
