Harry Kondoleon (1955-1994) was an American playwright, novelist, and poet. Kondoleon

from 1970 to 2016, with bulk of the material dating from 1977 to 1994. The collection

in both paper and electronic format, and published scripts and novels. The collection
also includes Kondoleon's diaries, correspondence, newspaper and magazine clippings,
audiovisual recordings, photographs, and subject files used as research or source
