“Norman Mailer: Tough Guys Don’t Quit.” Article-interview by Philip Marchand. Toronto Star, 12 October, K1, K11. Account of a long press conference about Harlot’s Ghost (91.26) at Random House. In regard to the sequel, Mailer said, “I promised before to write books that I never wrote, so I’m leery of swearing by all the gods that this second novel will be done and delivered. But I certainly hope so…Novels can’t be done by an act of will.”
