I think that in the future it might be a good idea for you to get a tape-recorder for these darn things, because it\u2019s a bitch of a job for the interviewee to edit his own words. Now you will note that I did not completely eliminate all the first part; as a matter of fact I retained the bulk of it, but made quite a few changes and emendations. I think it\u2019s better now, certainly printable. Besides all the additions, you will notice I made a few eliminations. I cut out a few of the cuss-words, which were all too abundant. I cut out the cracks against little Truman and Anthony West, who God knows deserves them, but they seemed a little in poor taste. I also tempered my criticism of Faulkner. I have tried to keep the tone impersonal and conversational throughout, and I think that I\u2019ve succeeded.<\/p>\n<p>You will notice, too, that I\u2019ve taken your suggestion and have added quite a bit toward the end. I hope you will find the questions\u2014some of which are yours\u2014and answers suitable; at least the piece is considerably lengthened, and I\u2019ve gotten off my chest a few things I\u2019ve wanted to say. One important thing is that I think you must somehow invent a little atmosphere to surround the piece. It\u2019s mighty bare without any stage directions, and I think if you place the thing right where the original interview started, in the Caf\u00e9 Select, or some equivalent, it will provide a suitably bibulous background.<\/p>\n<p> <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>You are of course at liberty to edit any of this, by excision, but I hope you won\u2019t find it necessary to put new words in my mouth, important ones, anyway. I am enclosing a sheet of MS from Long March, I really want you to return it, though, when you\u2019re finished with it, to the New York address which I\u2019ll give below. I\u2019m also enclosing a pretty photo for Billy. Please tell him to make my hair a little flatter on top and to give me a tie. I look like a muskrat trader.<\/p>\n<p>I wish you\u2019d acknowledge this by the quickest means possible; fast airmail should do it. The reason is I\u2019m packing up my traps and lines and setting sail with Rose on Dec. 13th from Naples, back to the land of Borden\u2019s milk and Arrow shirts. Why I still don\u2019t know\u2014I\u2019ll probably be in Paris again by March\u2014but the spaghetti is beginning to pall, much as I love it here, and Italy is getting chilly. Marquand and the Matthiessens, however, have promised to be on the dock to ease our arrival, to take us to Voisin, and to help us with the native tongue. My address in New York, since we\u2019ll probably be sleeping under the New York Central tracks, is c\/o my agent, Elizabeth McKee, 30 E. 60th.<\/p>\n<p>Best regards to Billy and Jane, and hope to hear from you about this soon.<\/p>\n<p>All the best,<\/p>\n<p>Bill<\/p>\n<p>P.S. I changed the question \u201cDo you feel yourself in competition with other writers?\u201d to \u201cDo you feel yourself to be, etc.\u201d Since the first question is fairly pornographic.<\/p>\n<p><em> <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>From <a title=\"Random House | Selected Letters\" href=\"http:\/\/www.randomhouse.com\/book\/175056\/selected-letters-of-william-styron-by-william-styron\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><\/em><a title=\"Random House | Selected Letters\" href=\"http:\/\/www.randomhouse.com\/book\/175056\/selected-letters-of-william-styron-by-william-styron\" target=\"_blank\">Selected Letters of William Styron<em><\/em><\/a><em>, edited by Rose Styron with R.
