*H. N. SWANSON / JOEL GOTLER LITERARY AGENCY:
Harold Norling Swanson (August 28, 1899 – May 31, 1991) was a literary agent who represented Raymond Chandler, F. Scott Fitzgerald and many other well-known American writers. He was a member of the Cliff Dwellers Club and was one of the founding members of the Tavern Club in Chicago.
In 1934, Swanson opened his eponymous agency on Sunset Boulevard. He began representing adventurer-writer Frank Buck in 1935, soon after Buck\'s appearance in Fang and Claw, the documentary film based on his book of the same name. Swanson\'s efforts led to Buck\'s first appearance in a dramatic role, in the 15-chapter serial Jungle Menace, released by Columbia Pictures in 1937.
At one time or another, Swanson represented F. Scott Fitzgerald, James M. Cain, William Faulkner, MacKinlay Kantor, Kenneth Millar (Ross Macdonald), Pearl Buck, Raymond Chandler, Elmore Leonard, John O\'Hara, Joyce Carol Oates, Paul Theroux, Joseph Wambaugh, Philip Wylie and Cornell Woolrich. Among the many books he sold to the Hollywood studios were The Postman Always Rings Twice, The Big Sleep, Old Yeller, Butterfield 8 and The Mosquito Coast and many more.
Swanson\'s first business partner, Joel Gotler, acquired both the Swanson Agency Client List and Irving \"Swifty\" Lazar\'s Client List in 1979. Please note the Swanson / Gotler Archive also includes rare material from Lazar\'s Agency. Joel Gotler & Associates still remains in operation today.
