Dear Norman:

I did give a talk in Miami but I intend to make it part of a longer piece. And now tell me this: If you were described in someone’s magazine as a “burnt out case” would you be at all inclined to contribute articles to that magazine? 48

Sincerely yours,

Saul Bellow

March 11, 1976

Dear Saul:

You ask whether I would be inclined to contribute articles to a magazine in which I had been described as a “burnt-out case. ” The answer to your question is Yes. In fact, I have contributed pieces to magazines which printed far worse things about me. Besides, if I thought you were a “burnt-out case, ” would I be eager to publish you? And believe me, I am.

Yours,
