The "Bern Malamud: An Instinctive Friendship" contains a memoir of Prof. Chester Garrison, Malamud's former colleague during his Oregon State College years and lifelong friend. [In it he refers to me, I assume, as "a Japanese scholar" who interviewed him!] The "Catalogue" lists the library's holdings related to Malamud. Especially of interest may be Prof. Garrison's correspondence with Malamud and the videotapes of the interviews carried out by Prof. Suzanne Clark. They contain an interview of James Groshong, supposedly a model of Joseph Bucket in A New Life.
