Collection
Giardina, Anthony

The Anthony Giardina Papers include a generous collection of the author's early drafts - typically handwritten on yellow legal pads amply embellished by the author's inimitable ornate doodles, somewhat suggestive of the work of M. C. Escher. Giardina explains that doodles are his way of warming up to writing as he returns to his work-in-progress each day. Also included are drafts showing editorial comments by Jonathan Galassi and others, and the work of copy editors. Selections from the correspondence offer substantive insight into Giardina's thoughts, and exchanges with others, about the process of writing. The collection includes other materials documenting aspects of the publishing process such as interactions with literary agents, development of publicity for new titles, play and book reviews, and reader responses in the form of fan mail or online reviews.
