==== Essays, poems, forewords, prefaces, introductions, symposia contributions, letters to the editor ====
“Just the Factoids.” Letter to the Editor. ''New York Times Book Review'', 9 January 2000, 4. Mailer corrects three of the most egregious errors in Mary Dearborn’s biography in this column-and-a-half letter: 1) that he had never read the works of Karl Marx; 2) that he shunned his friend Buzz Farbar after he was imprisoned on a drug charge; 3) that he shared his home in Provincetown with Roy Cohn. He goes on to say that he did not read [[#Dearborn1999|her biography]], but gleaned these and several other errors from a review in ''Lingua Franca'' by Caleb Crain. Further, he states that the errors were “in some degree my fault since I did not choose to be interviewed, but I still wish that Mary Dearborn had tried to get at least two sources for each of her assertions.”
Letter to the Editor. ''New York Times'', 22 March 2000. In this brief letter, Mailer comments on Sen. Robert Byrd’s 20 March Op-Ed piece in the ''Times'', noting that “the United States and NATO stepped into the trap that Mr. Milosevic had set” when it began its 78-day bombing campaign.
==== Interviews ====
“One Helluva Guy.” Article-interview by Ginny Dougary. ''The Times'' 2 (U.K.), 2 June 2000, 3–7. Cover story. Well-written account of Dougary’s meeting with Mailer in Provincetown. Mailer was clearly comfortable with her, discussing his three-week stay in Bellevue in 1960, his marriage with Jeanne Campbell (and marriage generally), his affairs and diminishing libido. The piece is slugged on the cover of the magazine as “madness, women and every man’s terror,” a good summary.
“Still Stormin.” Article-interview by Alastair McKay. ''The Scotsman'': S2 Weekend, 22 July 2000, 1–5. Cover story. Discussion in Provincetown of drugs, feminism, the corporation, and fame; no new ground broken, but some lively re-statements. Excerpts reprinted in ''The Spooky Art'', 2003.
“God’s Foot Soldier.” Article-interview by David Aaronovitch. ''Independent on Sunday'' (U.K.), 20 August 2000, 4–5. Aaronovitch has difficulty understanding Mailer’s ideas of an existential God who is in danger of dying (or he feigns puzzlement well), but Mailer does re-state his theology quite clearly in this piece, based on a 14 August interview in Edinburgh where Mailer appeared at the International Book Festival.
“Norman Mailer Interview.” Article-interview by Romona Koval, presenter of the Australian program, Radio National’s ''Books and Writing''. Based on an interview with Mailer at the Edinburgh International Book Festival. First broadcast on 1 September 2000. Internet printout is 12 pages in length. Many subjects are tackled in this omnibus interview, including the new journalism, first and third person points of view, feminism and the sexual revolution, the 2000 presidential election, boxing, Mailer’s engineering education, and what it means to be a left conservative. Excerpts reprinted in ''The Spooky Art'', 2003.
