“For Whom the Will Toils.” Letter to the Editor. ''Boston Globe'', 14 March 2002, A14. Mailer coruscates George F. Will for equating the prose of Pres. George W. Bush with that of Ernest Hemingway, saying that to put Bush “next to Hemingway is equal to saying that Jackie Susann is right up there with Jane Austen.” | |||
''Into the Mirror: The Life of Master Spy Robert P. Hanssen'', by Lawrence Schiller, New York: HarperCollins, early May 2002. 317 pp. Based on an Investigation by Norman Mailer and Lawrence Schiller.

Mailer comments here on Sue Harrison’s ''Banner'' review of Peter Manso’s portrait of Provincetown in his ''Ptown: Art, Sex and Money on the Outer Cape'' (see below): “I will now state that every remark or action he has attributed to me that I have read about ... is wholly and totally untrue.” Mailer goes on to say that his “private term” for Manso, who compiled a controversial oral biography of Mailer (''Mailer: His Life and Times'', 1985), “might be ‘poison-drip’.” | |||

“Norman Mailer.” In ''John Steinbeck: Centennial Reflections by American Writers'', edited by Susan Shillinglaw, 62. San Jose, CA: San Jose State University, 2002.

==== Interviews ==== | |||
“The Mailer Verdict.” Interview by Dotson Rader. ''Sunday Times Magazine'' (London), 19 September 2002.

Much of the interview was later incorporated into ''Why Are We at War?'' (see below). | |||
