Bibliography for 1985 — a year dominated by Mailer’s work organizing the 48th International PEN Congress (held January 1986). Eighteen entries from Lennon & Lennon’s Works and Days (85.1–85.16, including the lettered insertions 85.4a and 85.6a): the PEN cluster (85.1, 85.2, 85.4a, 85.5, 85.6, 85.6a, 85.7, 85.8, 85.9), the major craft essay “The Hazards and Sources of Writing” (85.4), Peter Manso’s oral biography (85.13), Mailer’s introduction for John W. Aldridge (85.14), and fine-press and reprinted items (85.10–85.12, 85.15, 85.16). To these is added one editor-supplied “about” row beyond Lennon — the McCall’s “Ten Sexiest Men” feature, the kind of chatter-magazine item Lennon’s policy excludes — for 19 rows in all.
