Maileriana
Christopher Ricks's "Maileriana" in Reflections: Norman Mailer at 100 (2023): after Browning's "Memorabilia," memories of Mailer in conversation, including his interview by J. Michael Lennon at a conference of the Association of Literary Scholars, Critics, and Writers.
Christopher Ricks’s “Maileriana” (Reflections: Norman Mailer at 100, pp. 83–84) takes its cue from Browning’s “Memorabilia” (“Ah, did you once see Shelley plain”). It recalls Mailer as a talker who “didn’t speak at you”: a colloquy in New York, a roomful of students at Suffolk University, and best of all a conference of the Association of Literary Scholars, Critics, and Writers, where J. Michael Lennon interviewed him.
