of the work with the statement: "...how many novelists of this century have reminded men that they may be holy men?" His second novel, The Snowman (1965), described the odd history and relationship of the inhabitants of a fictional small upstate New York town, Joseph's Landing, in the later part of World War Two. Robert Nye wrote of it in a review for The Guardian, "No American novelist since Faulkner strikes me as having a finer awareness of the possibilities of language as an index to the complications of human behaviour." Haldeman's third novel, Teagarden's Gang (1971) was an allegorical novel that used a story about Jake Teagarden, a chemist who discovers a quick way to make alcohol and so becomes a powerful mobster in 1920s Prohibition-era Chicago, to comment upon developments in the United States in the late 1960s. A small collection of poems - without graves - no resurrections - was published posthumously by Five Seasons Press in 1984, with an introduction by Peter Levi. Levi, who died in February 2000, a friend of Haldeman's from their days in Athens together, wrote: "The vivid lightning that flashed here and there in his mind was something he could never put to sleep." The Paris Review (No. 30, Summer-Fall 1963) also published his short fiction Man is a Wonderful Woundable Animal. In late 2020, a memoir/short biography of Charles Haldeman was published. Compiled and edited with a commentary by Richard Haldeman, the writer’s brother, the 200 page memoir is based on the letters of Charles Haldeman, (“Charles Haldemam’s letters reveal his search for his own identity”) and cover the years 1930 to 1983. Coming almost 38 years after the author’s death the book is an intimate portrait of a writer who “sought to understand and separate himself from the racism in his 'family’s American and German heritage, to reconcile the principles of the American dream with the reality of American life, and to help bring about a world in which human beings no longer used 'war as a school for life to build 'monuments to stupidity’" Bibliography Novels The Sun's Attendant (1963) The Snowman (1965) Teagarden's Gang (1971) Poetry without graves—no resurrections (1984) (foreword by Peter Levi) Notes External links Neglectedbooks.com Review of The Sun's Attendant Neglectedbooks.com Review of The Snowman OPENLibrary.org without graves—no resurrections The New York Times, April 5, 1964, Through a Wilderness of Pain; THE SUN'S ATTENDANT.
