Dear Mickey,<ref> | Dear Mickey,<ref>{{NM}}’s letter to [[w:Mike Knox|Mike Knox]], Nothing came of the idea of having Orson Welles (1915-84) play Henderson and Sonny Liston play Dahfu in a film version of Saul Bellow’s Henderson the Rain King (1959). Knox attempted unsuccessfully to convince Orson Welles to buy the rights.</ref> | ||
This is the worst day in the world to write you a letter because I’m in a foul mood and have forty other letters to get through before the day is done. But if I don’t write you today another month will go by, because what with the serial taking up almost all the time, I try to take care of all the mail once a month. Anyway, there’s very little in the form of news. I’m simply working my ass off, and going out very little, seeing very few people, and keeping my nose over the top of a pencil. In return, things have been quiet and nice here. Bev’s pregnancy has been going along pleasantly and my life has been for me remarkably stable. Sometimes a week goes by before I get a chance to do some serious drinking. So that’s it on the news. | This is the worst day in the world to write you a letter because I’m in a foul mood and have forty other letters to get through before the day is done.
