83.24

“Mellowing?. . . Not Mailer.” Article-interview by Marty Gervais. Windsor (Ontario) Star, 23 April, Sec. A, pp. 1, 16. Report of Mailer’s meeting with Canadian book editors in New York to discuss 83.18. Snide piece that repeats old stories, but does provide Mailer with the opportunity to explain that his contract with Little, Brown required him to submit installments of the novel, but forbade the editors from reading them, although Mailer did offer the opportunity to Larned G. Bradford, his chief editor.
