{{hatnote|This interview with Norman Mailer just before the publication of ''Ancient Evenings'' (his “big novel” ten years in the making and widely anticipated) was the cover story for the March-April, 1983, issue of ''Harvard Magazine''.

Ten years in the writing, ''Ancient Evenings'' will be published in May. For [[Norman Mailer]], who turned sixty in January, this new book marks an important transitional point. After more than a decade of nonfiction, a big novel — the first of a planned trilogy — brings Mailer back to the literary genre in which he made his name. | Ten years in the writing, ''Ancient Evenings'' will be published in May.
