Bibliography for 1972. Twenty-eight entries from Lennon & Lennon’s Works and Days (72.0-72.24, including the lettered insertions 72.0a, 72.3a, and 72.21a). The year’s two books are the miscellany Existential Errands (April) and the conventions narrative St. George and the Godfather (October); much of the rest is coverage of Mailer’s college lecture tour.
