+* {{Anchor|Parker (1984)}}{{cite book |last=Parker |first=Hershel |date=1984 |chapter=Norman Mailer’s Revision of the ''Esquire'' Version of ''An American Dream'': The Authority of ‘Built-in’ Intentionality |title=Flawed Texts and Verbal Icons: Literary Authority in American Fiction |url=https://archive.org/details/flawedtextsverba00park |location=Evanston, IL |publisher=Northwestern University Press |pages=181–212 |isbn= |author-link= }} Argues that the magazine version of [[65.7]] is superior to the book version. See [[83.6]].
+* {{Anchor|Pease (1992)}}{{cite journal |last=Pease |first=Donald E. |date=1992 |title=Citizen Vidal and Mailer’s America |url= |journal=Raritan |volume=11 |issue=spring |pages=72–98 |access-date= }} Argues for Vidal as an ignored genius who prefigured the New Historicism and Mailer as anti-homosexual. Tendentious.
+* {{Anchor|Pizer (1982)}}{{cite book |last=Pizer |first=Donald |date=1982 |chapter=Norman Mailer: ''The Naked and the Dead'' |title=Twentieth-Century American Literary Naturalism |url= |location=Carbondale |publisher= Southern Illinois University Press |pages=90–144 |isbn= |author-link= }} Arguably the best essay on Mailer’s first novel ([[48.2]]).
+* {{Anchor|Podhoretz (1964)}}{{cite book |last=Podhoretz |first=Norman |date=1964 |chapter=Norman Mailer: The Embattled Vision |title=Doings and Undoings: The Fifties and After in American Writing |url= |location=New York |publisher=Farrar, Strauss |pages=179–204 |isbn= |author-link= }} Rpt: [[#Lucid (1971)|Lucid (1971)]]. One of the first essays to examine Mailer’s shifting ideologies and idiosyncratic existentialism.
 * {{Anchor|Poirier (1972)}}{{cite book |last=Poirier |first=Richard |date=1972 |title=Norman Mailer |series=Modern Masters |url=https://archive.org/details/normanmailer0000poir |location=New York |publisher=Viking Press |author-link= |ref=harv}} Rpt: Partial in [[#Bloom (1986)|Bloom (1986)]]. Still considered to be most intelligent study of Mailer. Contains three chapters: on Mailer’s career, his relation to history, and his dualisms. Poirier’s Mailer is perhaps too postmodern, but Poirier is acute on Mailer’s endlessly modulating rhetoric, even if he is incredulous about Mailer’s cosmology.
+* {{Anchor|Poirier (1971)}}{{cite book |last=Poirier |first=Richard |authormask=1 |date=1971 |chapter=The Performing Self |title=The Performing Self: Compositions and Decompositions in the Languages of Contemporary Life |url=https://archive.org/details/performingselfco00poir |location=New York |publisher=Oxford University Press |pages=86–111 |isbn= |author-link= }} Prelude to his [[#Poirier (1972)|1972]] volume on Mailer.
+* {{Anchor|Pratt (1982)}}{{cite journal |last=Pratt |first=William C. |date=1982 |title=Mailer’s ''Barbary Shore'' and His Quest for a Radical Politics |url= |journal=Illinois Quarterly |volume=44 |issue=winter |pages=48–56 |access-date= }} Ideological context for Mailer’s second novel ([[51.1]]). Excellent sources.

+* {{Anchor|Radford (1975)}}{{cite book |last=Radford |first=Jean |date=1975 |title=Norman Mailer: A Critical Study |url= |location=New York |publisher=Harper and Row |pages= |isbn= |author-link= }} General survey of Mailer’s work from a feminist perspective. Her study is marred by its focus on ideology and lack of interest in stylistic nuance; contains a fine analyses of the Eitel-Esposito affair in ''The Deer Park'' ([[55.4]]).
+* {{Anchor|Raleigh (1973)}}{{cite book |last=Raleigh |first=John Henry |date=1973 |chapter=History and Its Burdens: The Example of Norman Mailer |title=Uses of Literature |series=Harvard English Studies 4 |editor-last=Engel |editor-first=Monroe |url= |location=Cambridge |publisher=Howaard University Press |pages=163–186 |isbn= |author-link= }} Mailer’s historical sense, use of the small town and the “dynamic, orgiastic, explosive accelerating city.”
 * {{Anchor|Ross (1978)}}{{cite book |last=Ross |first=Mitchell |date=1978 |chapter=Norman Mailer |title=The Literary Politicians |url=https://archive.org/details/literarypolitici00ross |location=Garden City, NJ |publisher=Doubleday |pages=166–216 |isbn= |author-link= }} Lacking notes and an index, this vicious diatribe is valuable to help understand the depth of anger among Mailer’s detractors. Ross is the Babe Ruth of Mailer revilers.
 * {{Anchor|Rother (1978)}}{{cite journal |last1=Rother |first1=James |date=1978 |title=Mailer’s ‘O’Shaugnessy Chronicle’: A Speculative Autopsy |url= |journal=Critique |volume=19 |issue=3 |pages=21–39 |doi= |access-date= }} Contends that Lawrence Durrell’s ''Alexandria Quartet'' caused Mailer to rethink his plans.
