Appendix
Box List
During the 1950s and 1960s Clark wrote a number of short stories, some of them featuring a Canberra public servant described as ‘The man in black’. They were published in the Bulletin, Quadrant, Partisan, Prometheus and the Melbourne University Magazine. In 1969 twelve of the stories were published by Angus and Robertson in a volume entitled Disquiet and other stories. These stories and two new stories appeared in Collected short stories, published by Penguin in 1986.
Apart from reviews of Disquiet and other stories and a small quantity of letters, this series comprises handwritten and typescript drafts of stories and notes and jottings for stories.
