The year of the archive sale: Mailer’s papers go to the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas at Austin, generating a cluster of article-interviews (05.3–05.6, 05.9, 05.12, 05.13). Other strands: two essays of political-theological provocation (05.1, 05.8 — the Reagan/Bush “God’s chosen envoy” blog) and the Sartre-centenary essay “Sartre’s God Problem” (05.7) with its follow-up letter to the editor (05.11); the Stop Smiling boxing conversation with John Buffalo Mailer (05.2, later folded into The Big Empty); the Parade “One Idea” piece (05.1a); a Provincetown retrospective (05.10); a letter in Malcolm Boyd’s prayer anthology (05.14); and the limited-edition booklet Norman Mailer’s Provincetown (05.15). Counts: 6 by (two of them letters), 8 article-interview, 2 article, 1 collection.
