The Week in Books. Column by Martha MacGregor. New York Post, 14 March, 47. Includes quotes from Mailer’s question-and-answer session with reporters at the National Book Awards ceremony, including comment on the winning novel, Saul Bellow’s Herzog: “There is something Russian about Herzog in its depth of feeling. There are plenty of faults, but my heart was literally burning as I read.” See 65.4, 65.8, 65.10.
