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.
