J. Michael Lennon’s new biography, Norman Mailer: A Double Life, has recently been published by Simon & Schuster.

From Publisher’s Weekly: “In this meticulous authorized biography, Lennon offers a comprehensive and unflinching look at the life of the controversial American novelist, journalist, and filmmaker who dissected the zeitgeist from the 1950s until his death in 2007…The result, written in a measured and sometimes dry style, stresses the extremes of ugliness and compassion that defined the author’s life and work”

Lennon’s interview with Mailer appeared in NER 20.3.

Norman Mailer: A Double Life is available from Powell’s and other booksellers.
