 This checklist picks up where ''[[NM:WD|Norman Mailer: Works and Days]]'' (Shavertown, PA: Sligo Press 2000) by J. Michael and [[Donna Pedro Lennon]] left off at the end of 1998. It consists of chronologically listed entries of significant works by and about {{NM}} that have appeared from that time through 2006. In addition, entries for a number of items that appeared from 1980–1998, items unknown or unavailable to the Lennons at the time their bio-bibliography was published, have been added. This checklist is, therefore, a supplement to ''Works and Days'', although it cannot claim to be comprehensive. Many brief interviews, joint letters to the editor, ephemera, and Mailer quotations of uncertain authenticity in the popular press and Internet have been passed over; others have certainly been missed. Doubtless some significant secondary works have not been located. Entries for these and for the continuing stream of narratives, essays, interviews, poems, letters to the editor, and drawings by Mailer will eventually be gathered, it is hoped, into a successor volume to ''Works and Days''. Annotations have been provided for all items by Mailer, but not for most secondary items. Apology is made to those whose essays or monographs about and interviews with Mr. Mailer have escaped attention.

+“Clinton for Pres. No, Not You, Bill: Hillary, Your Country Needs You.” ''The Observer'' (London), 8 February 1998, 1, 4. Essay (with editor’s title). Written in the wake of President Clinton’s affair with Monica Lewinsky, this 2500-word polemic underlines Mrs. Clinton’s desire for power~“vast and huge”! and criticizes her husband’s “failure to achieve greatness; and this not through a lack of talent but by inanition of character.”
+“At the Point of My Pen.” In ''Why I Write: Thoughts on the Craft of Fiction'', edited by Will Blythe, 3–4. Boston: Little, Brown, 1998. Mailer leads off this collection of essays by 26 writers, including Rick Bass, Robert Stone, Richard Ford, and Jayne Anne Phillips. He retells the story of what his mentor and friend Jean Malaquais told him about why he persisted in writing even though it was torture: “The only time I know the truth,” Malaquais said, “is when it reveals itself at the point of my pen.” Mailer says he has been “thinking about Malaquais’ answer for forty years” and finds it to be “incontestably true.”

+== 1999 ==
+=== Primary ===
+==== Essays, poems, forewords, prefaces, introductions, symposia contributions, letters to the editor ====
+“Milosevic and Clinton.” ''Washington Post'', 24 May 1999, A25. In this 1500-word essay, Mailer criticizes the Clinton Administration’s bombing campaign in Kosovo and argues that the canny Milosevic duped Sec. of State Madeleine Albright. In support of his argument, he explores “the visceral difference between a combat devoted uniquely to bombing, and participation in a ground war.”
+“Norman Mailer.” In ''For the Love of Books: 115 Celebrated Writers on the Books They Love the Most'', edited by Ronald B. Shwartz, 158–59. New York: Grosset/Putnam, 1999. Mailer lists the following, one through six: ''U.S.A.'', ''Studs Lonigan'', ''Das Kapital'', ''The Decline of the West'', ''Anna Karenina'', and ''Look Homeward, Angel''. In a postscript, he notes that with the exception of ''Das Kapital'', he had read all the others before the age of twenty.
+“Norman Mailer’s Ten Favorite American Novels.” In ''A Passion for Books: A Book Lover’s Treasury'', edited by Harold Rabinowitz and Rob Kaplan, 222. New York: Times Books/Random House, 1999. Mailer makes no comment, but provides the following list, from one to ten: ''U.S.A.'', ''The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn'', ''Look Homeward, Angel'', ''The Grapes of Wrath'', ''Studs Lonigan'', ''The Great Gatsby'', ''The Sun Also Rises'', ''Appointment in Samarra'', ''The Postman Always Rings Twice'', ''Moby-Dick''.
+====Interviews====
+“Postwar Paris: Chronicles of Literary Life.” ''Paris Review'', no.150 (spring 1999): 266–312. Twenty-one individuals reflect on Paris after WWII in this evocative symposium, including Evan S. Connell, Kaylie Jones, Rick Bass, Mary Lee Settle, Peter Matthiessen, George Plimpton, and James Dickey. The piece leads off with the comments of Mailer, poet Richard Wilbur, and Mailer’s authorized biographer, Robert F. Lucid, taken from a transcription of their conversation about Paris at an event honoring Lucid’s retirement from the University of Pennsylvania in September 1996. Mailer’s reminiscences deal with the mood of Paris in 1947, the writers he met there and the 1948 presidential election, in which Mailer supported Henry Wallace, the Progressive Party candidate.
+“A Conversation with Norman Mailer.” By J. Michael Lennon. ''New England Review'' 20 (summer 1999), 138–48. In mid-March 1998 in Provincetown, Mailer spoke of the genesis of ''The Time of Our Time'' and the relative merits of his fiction and nonfiction narratives, with briefer comments on early fame and the cold war. Excerpts reprinted in ''The Spooky Art'' (2003).
+“Interview with Norman Mailer.” By Christopher Busa. ''Provincetown Arts'' 14 (summer 1999), 24–32. In a major interview by Mailer’s Provincetown neighbor and editor of this magazine, Mailer speaks longer and with more detail and nuance about what Provincetown has meant to him as an artist than anywhere else. It also includes a lengthy discussion of ''The Gospel According to the Son'' and ''Ancient Evenings''.
+“My Moment with Mailer.” ''Boston Phoenix'', 3 September 1999, 28–30, 32. Article-interview by Chris Wright. Reprinted in ''Providence Phoenix'', 10–16 September 1999. Contains an account of Mailer’s appearance at a symposium in Provincetown, and an earlier conversation with Wright. Wright’s introduction is padded, but Mailer provides some good insights on then and now in American life, aging and the clarity that comes with it, with asides on the corporation, politics, and plastics.
