ADAMS, Alice
Autograph Letter Signed and Listening to Billie
1992. An autograph letter signed from Adams to Robert Jones, editor (later Editor-in-Chief) at HarperCollins. A full page, plus a few lines on the verso, in which Adams praises Jones's first novel, Force of Gravity -- "I found it an absolute marvel -- an astounding book, entirely wonderful" -- and references her own novel Listening to Billie: "I'm so happy that you liked --- Billie. I had such trouble with that book, fights with the editor -- etc. -- but I too have an affection for it -- ." She also suggests dates that they could meet. The letter is folded for mailing; else fine, with envelope. Together with a copy of Listening to Billie [NY: Knopf, 1978], which is near fine in a near fine, internally tape-strengthened dust jacket. Jones died in 2001 at the age of 47.
