Books about Norman Mailer
Norman Mailer recommends
Whistle (1978)
(From Here to Eternity, book 3)
James Jones
"The only one of my contemporaries who I felt had more talent than myself was James Jones. And he has also been the only writer of any time for whom I felt any love."
A Disturbance in One Place (1994)
Binnie Kirshenbaum
"Not many young female novelists can deal with sex, the appetite for it, and the loss of such appetite with as much candor, lack of self-protection, and humor as Binnie Kirshenbaum."
