Consists of typescript drafts, editorial copies, galleys, dust jacket proofs, and notes by other writers with whom Charles Ruas collaborated, including materials he received as gifts from authors, as well as materials directly related to books he edited. Writers represented include Marguerite Young, Susan Howe, Helen Adam, Djuna Barnes, and Susan Sontag. Most prominent are several works by American writer Marguerite Young, including materials regarding her epic biography Harp Song for a Radical: The Life and Times of Eugene Victor Debs. Ruas edited the unfinished manuscript after Young fell ill and could no longer continue writing the third part. The biography was posthumously published by Alfred A. Knopf in 1999. Several draft versions are present, including a copy of Young's 1742-page original draft, Ruas's working editorial draft, and his edited typescript of Part I with a group of unedited cut pages following it. A spiral notebook, containing Young's manuscript draft of a section of the book on Allan Pinkerton, along with some handwritten notes Young made on diner checks, are also included. In the last few years of her life, when she was very sick, Marguerite Young abandoned nonfiction and returned to writing poetry. Present here are Ruas's set of photocopied typescript and manuscript drafts of Young's last poems, most of which remain unpublished, Young's guide sheet for an unrealized dramatization of her earlier book Angel in the Forest, and a carbon copy of the original typescript of the first two chapters of Miss MacIntosh, My Darling, with handwritten corrections by Young, that the author inscribed and gifted to Ruas. Also of note is a typescript of an early book of collected poems by Susan Howe, Ruas's friend and poetry co-host at WBAI-FM. There are also several commercially available CDs of music and poetry recordings that Ruas collected.

Digital Audio Recordings and Programs, 1975-2015 (mostly 2016-2018)

291 digital files
SOME ONLINE CONTENT
Consists of digitized and born-digital audio recordings and program descriptions for three radio series produced by Charles Ruas. This includes recordings from his "Conversations with Writers" series on PS1's radio program Art on Air, which later became Clocktower Radio. The "Conversations with Writers" recordings were digitally recorded in the studio from approximately 2010-2015. There are also recordings from the historic audio archives of Ruas's arts programming for WBAI-Pacifica, as well as the Reading Experiment, which contains all programs on Marguerite Young's Miss MacIntosh, My Darling. The "Historic WBAI" archives and "The Reading Experiment" were recorded on tape in the WBAI studios in NYC from 1975-1980. These programs were distributed nationally and deposited in the Pacifica Archives, but very few survived. The recordings were restored and digitized for Clocktower Radio by David Weinstein and Tennae Maki, who prepared them for broadcast and wrote the program descriptions. Program descriptions include those written by Ruas and his assistant, as well as screenshots of online program descriptions.

Consists of transcripts, audiocassettes, and CD-ROMs, and related materials documenting Charles Ruas's interviews with a variety of authors and cultural icons mainly throughout the 1970s and 1980s, although some recordings date to the mid 2000s. Ruas conducted interviews for broadcast on WBAI-FM radio, as well as for his 1985 book Conversations with American Writers. The transcripts of Ruas's interviews with Carlos Fuentes and Marguerite Young for The Paris Review are also here. Other authors represented within Ruas's interview materials include Toni Morrison, Buckminster Fuller, Michel Foucault, Eudora Welty, Truman Capote, Tennessee Williams, Norman Mailer, Mario Vargas Llosa, E. L. Doctorow, Susan Sontag, James Laughlin, William S. Burroughs, Donald Barthelme, and Joseph Heller, and others. In addition to interviews, some of the recordings document theatrical performances and readings, such as Anaïs Nin's reading of her introduction to Marguerite Young's Angel in the Forest. Interview transcripts often include multiple drafts and usually contain extensive corrections and editing, done in colored pencil, as well as Ruas's notes regarding his initial impressions of writers and their surroundings, which he often incorporated into the introductions of his published interviews. A group of CD-ROMs contain audio files from Ruas's interviews with artists for WPS1 Art Radio in the mid 2000s. Later additions include annotated program descriptions for Ruas's radio series, as well as a proposal for "Arts in New York: A Television Program" and recordings containing its trial program on artist Dan Flavin.
