A writer friend recently complaining about how he donated his papers to Yale and now the librarians can't locate some of his most prized possessions, including tapes of an interview with Sontag and correspondence with Guy Davenport. Yikes.

Did he donate them recently? Libraries have backlogs like you wouldn't believe. Not that that's an excuse. Just a reason without knowing details. But such a bounty should have caused a requisitioning of staff to create adequate finding aids.

I'll add that this is a major writer, has been in Library of America, etc.
