- 2022-01-10: “If Norman Mailer can be cancelled, no one is safe” argues Tim Black, perhaps overstating the issue based on the facts, but his point is strong. He continues: “This ought to chill the bones of anyone concerned about freedom today. Because if a figure as towering as Mailer can be cancelled, then no one, dead or alive, is safe. . . . The results of this purge of the dissenting, divergent or just plain anachronistic are all around us, on the page and lining bookstore shelves. Fiction, especially so-called literary fiction, is increasingly dull and sanitised.”
- 2022-01-07: “[Mailer] stalked the twentieth century like a proud satyr: hideous, provocative, funny and insightful, and always true to himself.” Read more from Tomiwa Owolade in his insightful op-ed on the Random House brouhaha.
- 2022-01-05: “You can’t cancel Norman Mailer.” From The New York Times: “Norman Mailer Book to Be Released by Skyhorse.” In the wake of a seemingly made-up controversy, the record is set straight by John Buffalo Mailer and J. Michael Lennon in an article by Alexandra Alter and Elizabeth A. Harris.
