Here are a few of the goodies in the West Collection at the McFarlin Library at the University of Tulsa: A play in outline called “Jocasta.” Several articles West wrote for women’s magazines, in handwritten and typed manuscripts as well as copies from the magazines themselves. Several typed manuscripts of West’s New York American column, “I Said to Me.” The typed script from the BBC production of The Birds Fall Down. An unfinished story called “The Heiress.” At the end of this handwritten manuscript Diana Stainforth notes, “To the best of my knowledge the last story [West] began.” Some passages in handwritten notebooks and typed manuscripts cut from This Real Night, including the Cordelia chapter (discussed at the West conference); a scene in which the Aubreys go to a London teashop following one of Rose’s concerts; a discussion of Rose’s two piano teachers, a man and a woman; the mention of Rose’s potential lover “Eric”; and Rose, Mary, and Cordelia dressing, traveling to, and attending a party at Lady Tredinnick’s, in which Mary publicly fails in a complicated dance called “The Lancers.” Please contact Ann Norton with notes
or queries for future newsletters.
