Michael Lennon. &#039;&#039;James Jones Literary Society Newsletter&#039;&#039; 10, no. 4, fall, 2–4. An edited transcription of {{NM}}’s remarks at a 1999 Jones Society symposium at Long Island University.

I suffered because it was too damn good. I was very happy whenever I came across somewhere I could say, ‘Oh, I could do that better.’ On the other hand, there were any number of things where I thought, ‘Oh, he knows more about that than I do.’” Mailer gave the novel a warm blurb.<br /> <br /> {{1990s|state=collapsed}}<br /> {{2000s|state=expanded}}<br /> {{2010s|state=collapsed}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Works]]<br /> [[Category:Works in the 2000s]]<br /> [[Category:Works in 2001]]<br /> [[Category:Remarks]]</div>
