NOVEL NOTES, 1970s - PART ONE, 1970s
File — Box: 131, Folder: 34
Scope and Contents
This folder and the next four folders derive from thousands of notes scribbled on envelopes then typed up clean. Mostly undated, and not in chronological order. The first 27 pages in this folder are numbered at bottom of the page. Afterwards (and throughout the next 4 folders) pages are numbered on the top right side of page. (In this folder it's pages 1-40.) These typed notes are about 1970s Taos events and personalities. Material in this folder appears written between 1977-1980 and is mostly background for The Nirvana Blues (published in 1981). Some pages contain obvious plot lines for Nirvana or lists of the novel's characters. Folder includes "prelude" pages 1-27, followed by regular typed pages 1-40.
