Mailer Critical Library
Books about Mailer that have gone out of print, published here again complete, by permission of those who hold their rights. Each is a remediation rather than a facsimile: the text set anew as pages of the edition, chapter by chapter, with its notes linked to their places, its words searchable, and its criticism cross-referenced to every work of Mailer’s it treats; and as an EPUB to keep. A book that had fallen out of reach is given a second life in a second medium.

Reproduced in full by permission of the Leeds estate.
