Four Mailer classics in one volume for the first time, books that crackle with the creative energy and raw passions of America's most turbulent decade.
J. Michael Lennon emeritus professor of English at Wilkes University, is Norman Mailer's editor and biographer, and president of the Mailer Society. His books include Norman Mailer- A Double Life (2013) and Selected Letters of Norman Mailer (2014).
"Mailer is missed. . . . His gifts of observation and imagination
[are] splendid armor for our own time." —David Denby, Harper's
Magazine
“The fearlessly original Mailer is . . . more vital than ever. . .
. If you really want to know What Happened, this collection of
50-year-old works has more to say than anything published in the
past 12 months.” –Ash Carter, Esquire
“Mailer’s catalogue of the schizophrenic hypocrisies in American
life—our warring internal dualisms—that brought us to such a pass
seem still entrenched in our political psyche. One can’t help
thinking that dissenting young people today, who might come upon
this book as a historical curiosity or reading assignment, will be
surprised to find a startlingly familiar nation at war with
itself.” —Robert J. Begiebing, The Mailer Review
"His biographer J. Michael Lennon and the LOA selected the contents
brilliantly."
— Buffalo News
“Norman Mailer is best binge-read as an orgy of big ideas, long,
loping sentences and assertions that only a writer of titanic ego
could make. Get ready to dive in...[this] two-volume anthology
should keep you busy for days.”
— Dallas News
