I thought fans of The Widow's Son might enjoy a bibliography of the real books cited in that fine novel's copious footnotes. Where possible, I have included a link for more information. I've also skipped shorter works Wilson cited, such as newspaper clippings and the First Surrealist Manifesto. I also have omitted apparently fictional books, such as Golden Hours by de Selby. The footnote at the end of Part One, Chapter 8, is not specific enough for me to provide a citation; I can't tell if it's a real book or a joke. I have verified that each of the below is an actual book (or at last a pamphlet) cited (or at least mentioned) in a footnote. Let me know about any mistakes.

Great job! I think Bob would have dug this. He loved this novel.
I loved that novel too.
So glad you did this! So glad I ran a search before endeavoring to do it on my own!
I'm on my third read-through of The Widow's Son, and keep getting this itch to make a bibliography as I go. I actually started one a few years ago, on my second read, but have since lost the hard-drive it sat on. A google search led me (indirectly, though) here. Mine would include all of the fictional works also, as well as the uncited materials you opted to leave out.
Looking forward to seeing what else this blog has to offer!
The Taking of the Bastille, the book mentioned above as being footnoted at the end of part one, chapter eight, is by Jacques Godechot and is indeed a 'real' book.
