“Mailer vs. Picasso at Harvard.” Article-interview by M.R. Montgomery. Boston Globe, 14 November, 77, 82. In Boston to promote 95.38, Mailer visits Harvard’s Fogg Museum for the first time since 1943 when he took a course on modern art in the Fogg. He notes that the reviews of 95.38 are “the worst I’ve ever gotten for a book,” which is accurate, although Barbary Shore (51.1) and Tough Guys Don’t Dance (84.17) received equally bad reviews.
