And that person is me. When I was in my early twenties, I really enjoyed reading Jack Kerouac's selected letters. Now, as a 40-year-old husband and father, the life and times of Jack Kerouac seem exhausting and awful to me, almost as awful as he could be.
That being said, I would love to hear some suggestions for a writer's collected letters, especially ones that have insights into life, meaning, etc. Thank you all.

“the letters of john cheever” might hit the spot for you…
Just writers?
Meanwhile There are Letters is a collection of letters over a 15-year period between Eudora Welty and Ross Macdonald. Reviews when the book came out describe them as “love letters” their affair seems to have been on paper only.
