        I read here and there in criticism about my work when it hits the eye....I like imaginative interpretations of my books, whether I agree with them or not.   I enjoy criticism that views the work in ways I haven't anticipated--that surprises me.   I dislike crap--criticism, favorable or unfavorable, that really doesn't understand what the books are about.

(from an interview by Leslie and Joyce Field)


Bibliographies on Bernard Malamud

        The above Bibliographies on Bernard Malamud Page, hopefully, will have links to various kinds of bibliographies on Bernard Malamud.    At present, you can find almost comprehensive bibliography, listed chronologically up to 1992, of the articles on the author and his works in books and periodicals.
        I must add that I owe this project to the awesome bibliographical works of Prof. Joel Salzberg and Ms. Rita Kosofsky.
