+* '''2014-05-22''': Via ''[http://www.harvardreview.org/book-review/mind-of-an-outlaw-selected-essays/ Harvard Review Online]'', Okla Elliott reviews ''Mind of an Outlaw'': “Phillip Sipiora has usefully organized ''Mind of an Outlaw'' by decade, starting with the 1940s, which are represented by a lone essay on Mailer’s choice to support the Progressive Party over the Communist Party. The following decades are more fully represented, with perhaps the 1950s and 1960s being the most interesting, since those were Mailer’s most prolific years in terms of the essay form. This was also when he was helping to invent New Journalism and what we today call creative nonfiction.”
