Untitled prefatory statement to Managing Mailer, by Joe Flaherty. New York: Coward-McCann, 1 May; London: Michael Joseph. This account of Mailer’s campaign for the Democratic nomination for mayor of New York by his campaign manager quotes Mailer extensively. Mailer says in the untitled prefatory statement or blurb that “Flaherty treats a dozen delicate egos like golf balls and then proceeds to see how far he can whap them.” Rpt: Flaherty’s earlier account of the campaign’s origins (69.10) was later incorporated into Managing Mailer. See numerous other 1969 entries on the mayoral campaign.

Dedication: “For Susan, for Dandy, for and Kate, for Michael and Stephen Mailer.” Because both the American and British editions carry a 1970 copyright date, and advance excerpts appeared in 1969 and 1970, there has been confusion about the precedence of these editions, and the actual dates of publication, which are as stated above.

Little’s 10 April Saturday Review article about the resignation of Harper’s editor Willie Morris following the publication of “The Prisoner of Sex” (71.10). One of the errors concerns the amount that Life paid Mailer for Of a Fire on the Moon (71.1). He received $450,000 from all sources for the book: for hardcover, softcover, serial and foreign rights. Rpt: As “To the Saturday Review” in 72.7, 82.19. An incorrect publication date in Harper’s of 20 April is given in both of these reprintings.

Letter to the editor. New York Times Book Review, 13 June, 2. Mailer takes issue with Brigid Brophy, who questioned his use of the word “rendered” in the phrase “politics rendered every pride” in her 23 May review of The Prisoner of Sex (71.20). Brophy concludes that it is a malapropism and that Mailer meant to use “surrendered” or “rent.” Mailer correctly defines the word as “that process where fat heated upon a fire is returned to oil and clarified of its impurities.” Rpt: As “To the New York Times Book Review” in 72.7, 82.19, and in 14.3. In both reprintings an incorrect publication date in the Book Review of 20 June is given in the acknowledgments.

“Mailer: Prisoner of Sex.” Interview with Elliot Mintz. Los Angeles Free Press, 17 December, 3, 18. Most of ’s comments in this fairly long interview deal with the response by feminists to The Prisoner of Sex (71.20). Mailer says that his debate with feminists centers on whether the differences between men and women are superficial or profound. “I think there is where the brunt of my argument was in the book. And I think that’s what aroused all the reaction among the women,” adding that the Women’s Liberation has “a huge potentiality for totalitarianism, and I think women ought to be the first to be aware of it.” Yet, he agrees with many of the movement’s goals, and is “two-thirds to three-quarters sympathetic to Women’s Liberation.” Asked about his reputation as a heavy drinker, he says, “Actually, I’m a rather moderate drinker, except for certain occasions.” “Most Americans,” he adds, “get most of their spiritual experiences when they’re drunk. And, I say, I’m one of them.” Mailer ends the interview with some comments on his film, Maidstone, which was then playing in New York City. “Right now, today, I want to be remembered as a great film director and I want Maidstone to be remembered as my first major film.” See 71.16, 71.20, 71.25, 71.27, 71.28.

“Mailer: Prisoner of Sex.” Interview by Elliot Mintz. Los Angeles Free Press, 20 December, 3, 18. Focuses mainly on ’s two most recent works, 71.1 and 71.10. Of the former, Mailer says that he admired the Apollo 11 mission because it was “well engineered and well machined with the workmanship staying at a high level,” especially since “part of the crisis of modern civilization is that workmanship is disappearing and deteriorating everywhere.” Of the Woman’s Liberation Movement, he says he is “two-thirds to three-quarters sympathetic,” but finds it to be totalitarian in that it offers “a solution which will work everywhere.” In regard to sex, he says that there are two ways one can look at it: (1) as a pleasurable activity “that fits in somewhere between steak, chess, and football”; or (2) “altogether different from other activities of life, say as different as death from ordinary existence.” He says he prefers the latter view.
