"I need an audience--so watch out!" With these James T. Farrell
announced his intention of becoming a writer. He was to realize
this ambition in manifold ways through his prolificacy,
versatility, and his achieved recognition as a formidable figure in
American literature. The material contained in this book grew out
of initial research for a critical study which disclosed the
chaotic state of Farrell's literary affairs and the urgent need for
a bibliography. The task was not to be an easy one, for many of
Farrell's writings were printed in obscure publications both in the
United States and abroad. Edgar M. Branch has ferreted out,
producing his compilation with enthusiasm and accuracy. This book
is a definitive guide to Farrell's writings published in
newspapers, magazines, pamphlets, and books, from the time of his
high school days through 1957. It includes both the fiction
(novels, short stories, one poem, and one play) and the nonfiction
(essays, articles, statements, manifestoes, newspaper columns,
etc.), and in many cases descriptions of these writing are appended
when deemed necessary. As a further aid to students and
researchers, Branch has listed many reprints and dates of writing
for the individual short stories and has provided two appendices
giving foreign editions of books and tape recordings of unpublished
speeches. This detailed bibliography, the first on Farrell ever
printed, is supplemented by a preface by Farrell and a foreword by
the author. Edgar Branch has directed his attention to the more
inaccessible of Farrell's writings and to the clarification of the
voluminous abundance of written material that Farrell has produced.
Through this book it is possible to trace Farrell's fluctuating
status as a writer, his shifting position among editors, critics,
and readers. The data included other clues to the evolution and
growth of his ideas and relationships with his contemporaries,
providing insight into his changing political affiliations and the
motivation and development of his fiction. A Bibliography of ]ames
T. Farrell's Writings will be a valuable practical aid to scholars
and students of literature and Americana, for it makes available a
scholarly compilation of the extensive list of writings by one of
America's most distinguished and controversial contemporary
writers.
