| Publisher Description: This study is a comprehensive scholarly treatment of Norman Mailer's entire oeuvre, including not only his fiction and non-fiction, but also his correspondence, his early journal articles and his interviews. It outlines Mailer's Entwicklungsgeschichte, illuminating the lines of continuity and discontinuity in his literary achievement and shows Mailer's work to be firmly ensconced in the tradition of Modernism and inspired by the Pound-Eliot axis. It argues that Mailer's literary opus is intertwined with his worldview, which, despite its inconsistencies and contradictions, contains a systematic structure. |
