Secondary references are divided into four sections:

The cultural backgrounds section contains many items that arguably could be better placed with the critical materials. Their location is an attempt to identify key references to the worlds (and ''demimondes'') Mailer has moved in, sometimes with reference to him, sometimes not. This section is far from exhaustive and is more a reflection of our Mailer library than any comprehensive plan.

The volume of reference to Mailer grows, if not exponentially, then constantly and quite rapidly. We are confident that the forthcoming accretions, and the inevitable omissions, will prompt future addenda and corrigenda to this project. We request that you help us with your comments, corrections and discoveries. Have something to share? [[User:Grlucas|Contact the editor]] to participate.
