| Description: |
| 1 page ALs from Singer to Henry Miller agreeing to back his nomination for the Nobel Prize for literature in 1978/79. 10½x7¼. |
| In his letter, Singer writes that "I think that no writer alive has earned as much recognition, praise and high prizes as you both for your literary work and for your selfless fight for literary freedom. Of course I will write to the Academy. Just the same I feel that you are too great a man to ask for any prize. Whatever recognition you should get must come from the givers, not from you...Whatever the results, you will remain a pillar of literature and a most couragous fighter against any kind of censorship in literature. Yours with love and admiration, Isaac B. Singer." Ironically, Singer himself was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature that year. |
| Condition: |
| Fine, in original hand-addressed envelope with Miller's holograph note to front. |
