Ten stray pages of <em>Toybreakers</em> draft material show Cormier's handwritten edits. The content includes one sexually explicit conversation between Mr. Caller and Susan, a scene of Harriette home alone contemplating torturing Mr. Caller, Mr. Caller leaving money for Susan to find, and Harriette trying to convince Susan to continue speaking with Mr. Caller. Cormier types notes to himself of how to revise the scene between Harriette and Susan to play up Susan's desperation.

Description
An account of the resource
This five-page, single-spaced editorial letter concerning <em>Tenderness</em> from the editor, Karen Wojtyla (Bantam Doubleday Dell), constructively critiques the work in progress. She asks him to mention "monster" only sparingly, to reconsider how much backstory Jake is given, increase Lori's ambivalence rather than cast her as a willing accomplice to murder and reconsider his choice to close the book with Walter Clayton's suicide. Karen also mentions Craig Virden, Cormier's former editor, in redemptive ways and reveals that he had read and communicated with Cormier about <em>Tenderness </em>previously. Karen agrees with Craig on certain points, including removing Miss Kentall's lesbianism.

Description
An account of the resource
In this four-page letter from Craig to Cormier, it becomes apparent that Craig is a fellow editor and colleage of Karen Wojtyla and has had access to her notes on the progress of Tenderness. He offers suggestions for revisions. Cormier has put notes in the margins indicating what suggestiong he will attend to. It's an interesting example of the editor/author relationship. As with Karen Wojtyla's letter, there seems to be a warm personal tone underpinning these professional relationships.

Description
An account of the resource
In this four-page letter from Cormier's editor, Craig Virden, it is apparent that Craig consulted with his colleague, Karen Wojtyla, and other editors at Bantam Doubleday Dell regarding the <em>Tenderness </em>manuscript. Craig explicitly mentions Karen's comments on the manuscript, though he opts for making macro-level suggestions on the draft. He shares his concerns that the novel makes huge departures from young adult literature. While Craig finds the novel and its characters gripping, he does offer some suggestions on Lori's troubling range of moral understanding and Eric's seeming self-awareness of his own monstrosity. Also of concern is the prominence of the police officer and his stereotypical treatment (as well as that of Maria). He briefly discusses mixed concerns about the use of first-person narration from Lori's perspective, Cormier has put notes in the margins indicating what suggestions he will attend to and how as well as which of his writing choices he plans to defend and preserve.

This draft version of Delacorte Press's reading guide for Robert Cormier's novel <em>Tenderness</em> presents the final 16 discussion questions and five others that were not selected for the publisher's Reader's Companion. The questions range from fairly straightforward, plot-driven questions to deeper questions of theology, morality, and literary themes in the novel. The five questions not selected address morality, sociopathology, the nature of love, the use of the term "monster," and the novel's adaptability to film. The draft includes the introduction to the novel, a list of other books by Cormier, and a short biography of the author.
