Esquire (unsigned). “Fighting Words: Leave Your Safe Space and Read the Library of America’s New Norman Mailer Collection.” Esquire, March 2018.
A brief books-section notice marking the Library of America‘s The Sixties boxed set (ed. J. Michael Lennon), framing Mailer’s 1960s writing as a bracing antidote to a more cautious literary present. Slight by the nature of the format, but a marker of the LOA edition’s mainstream reception.
