The big boys are coming out swingin’ — which is good news for those of us who like our prose on the masculine side. Random House announced on Friday that they will be publishing Norman Mailer’s first novel in 10 years — THE CASTLE IN THE FOREST — adding to the wealth of big guns that will be hitting bookstores in the next 4-5 months.
Here’s a checklist that I recommend you print, fold up nicely, and keep in your wallet.
Cormac McCarthy, The Road, September 26
Richard Ford, The Lay of the Land, October 24
Thomas Pynchon, Against the Day, November 21
Robert Stone, Prime Green, January 9
Norman Mailer, The Castle in the Forest, January 23
