Harvard Pants for Norman Mailer's Lusty Letters

Would you do this?Page Six reports that late literary bad boy (and Harvard alum) Norman Mailer's love letters to his mistress have been purchased by Harvard for an undisclosed amount. Mistress Carole Mallory dished some dirt to Page Six about the letters and other materials Harvard now owns:

"There's a 20-page sex scene from an unpublished memoir I wrote called 'Making Love With Norman'... It's very steamy. Norman was a real man and he knew what he was doing."

Mallory arranged for her Mailer-related materials to go to Harvard, where Mailer earned his degree in 1943. Mailer himself totally bitch-slapped Harvard (at least he didn't pull out the penknife) by selling most of his personal archive to the University of Texas a few years ago.

At least Harvard got the sexy stuff. And hey, maybe H Bomb can excerpt some of the letters--but please, no artists' renderings.
