'The ambition of Norman Mailer: Works and Days is to chronicle Mailer’s professional career, to nominate, delineate, annotate and cross-reference every significant Mailer utterance in print in English (an impossible task worth attempting), as well as the chief events of his life. Also included are a select secondary bibliography, and several appendices. The photographs and illustrations, one for most years from 1941 through 2014, are intended to add evocative interrelations to the record' -- from the introduction by J. Michael Lennon. First edition (first printing). A fine copy; no dust jacket as issued. This is copy number 1. Inscribed by the author J. Michael Lennon: 'To Don Kaufmann, pioneer and formidable Mailerian, with gratitude and respect / Mike & Donna Lennon.'
