Norman Mailer: Supplemental Bibliography through 2006

This checklist picks up where Mailer: Works and Days (Shavertown, PA: Sligo Press 2000) by J. Michael and Donna Pedro Lennon left off at the end of 1998. It consists of chronologically listed entries of significant works by and about that have appeared from that time through 2006. In addition, entries for a number of items that appeared from 1980 1998, items unknown or unavailable to the Lennons at the time their bio-bibliography was published, have been added. This checklist is, therefore, a supplement to Works and Days, although it cannot claim to be comprehensive. Many brief interviews, joint letters to the editor, ephemera, and quotations of uncertain authenticity in the popular press and Internet have been passed over; others have certainly been missed. Doubtless some significant secondary works have not been located. Entries for these and for the continuing stream of narratives, essays, interviews, poems, letters to the editor, and drawings by will eventually be gathered, it is hoped, into a successor volume to Works and Days. Annotations have been provided for all items by Mailer, but not for most secondary items. Apology is made to those whose essays or monographs about and interviews with Mr. have escaped attention. 1982 SECONDARY Beidler, Philip D. Literature and the Experience of Vietnam.
