A corrected typescript of V., the first novel of Thomas Pynchon (b.
1937), containing one hundred excised pages, is accompanied by eight
rare personal letters from a young Pynchon to two close friends in the
1960s. The archive also contains early notes, outlines, and drafts for
an unproduced musical, "Minstrel Island," on which Pynchon and J.
Kirkpatrick Sale collaborated in the spring of 1958.
