      Seeking "control, if they ever had it" is (to my mind) misguided, but yes to access and interpretation, to scholars having a fluid conversation about this guy.

      All this attention on the guy himself. It's the work that counts, and we have that. The rest is interesting enough background. But it's the work

      But they're also talking about destroying some of the manuscripts! That's a problem!

          Yes, I did see that. But this isn't Max Brod & Kafka we're talking about here

          yes and no. I think Roth provided a lot of unpublished memoirs to Bailey (beyond the two books on Bloom and Ross Miller).Those could be very interesting, based on Roth's other memoirs.

          It's horrifying! (But it's what he wanted? Sometimes authors are just ridiculous and wrong.)

          His only comment in an interview was diffident and not serious. Also if he wanted to do so it was a part of plan to have Bailey stand as the last word -- that's obviously not going to happen now!

          For example. Colette didn't wish to collect her film reviews, even though they are among *the first film reviews anyone has ever published* but she disdained them because "ephemeral hackwork." 1/2

          Her shortsighted vanity (a problem unique to Colette) was more important than the history of an emerging medium... much to the chagrin of scholars and Colette fans! 2/2

          Yes. Roth clearly had a bigger ego than Kafka. More success during his own lifetime too
