“Dear Norman Mailer.” Article-interview by Irma Kurtz. Sunday Express (Johannesburg), 6 July, 1, 4. A 2,500-word portrait of Mailer buttressed by engaging quotes from an interview at Mailer’s Brooklyn Heights apartment: “I’m in a pleasant position right now because I don’t know what I’m up to. I’m not burning with a mission. I’m free to move.” Rpt: A slightly truncated version appeared earlier in Nova (London), March, 106-7, 109.
