Norman Mailer: Works and Days A digital bio-bibliography

Bibliography 2004

An election-year register dominated by Mailer’s opposition to the Iraq War and the Bush administration: the Playboy “Immodest Proposals” platform for the Democrats (04.2), the New York Review of Books election symposium (04.13), and a run of interviews and reported appearances (04.3, 04.5, 04.6, 04.9, 04.9a, 04.11, 04.14). Two extended father-and-son conversations with John Buffalo Mailer (04.8, 04.15) anticipate their joint 2006 book The Big Empty. The year’s largest single publication is Norman Mailer’s Letters on An American Dream, 1963–1969 (04.7), J. Michael Lennon’s edition of 76 letters. Also notable: Mailer’s preface to Mickey Knox‘s memoir (04.4) and his six-word story for Black Book (04.10). Counts: 6 by, 5 interview, 2 article-interview, 4 article (one a post-Lennon internet-only item), 1 collection.

Secondary: 4 about rows added from the Holmes & Lennon Mailer Review supplement (2026 pass).
