John Gardner: A Bibliographical Profile

By John M. Howell and Professor Emeritus John M. Howell

"So now," writes John Gardner in his Afterword to the first annotated bibliog­raphy of works by and about him, "read­ing John Howell's list of 'Separate pub­lications'--XXXI in all (however many that is)--I feel pleasure and then alarm, rolling my eyes toward the ceiling, ask­ing God, 'Is it enough?'"

The book includes a biographical sketch; a collation of the first American edition; printing histories of first Amer­ican and British editions and of sub­sequent editions; annotated checklists of fiction, poetry, essays, reviews, and letters; an annotated checklist of inter­views: "I'm astonished, reading these summaries of interviews, at how often and how deeply I contradict myself"; a checklist of manuscripts and contribu­tions to other media; secondary checklists of articles, essays, and reviews about Gardner and his works; plus photo­graphs of assorted pages, dust jackets, and Gardner memorabilia.
