A Public Notice by Norman Mailer
A paid statement Mailer placed in The Village Voice reversing the dismissive view of Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot he had given in his final "Quickly" column (56.17). It contains Mailer's first published statement of his belief in a limited God.
“A Public Notice by Norman Mailer.” The Village Voice, 9 May 1956, 12.
A paid statement on Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot in which Mailer reverses the negative comments he had made in his 2 May “Quickly” column (56.17). The notice contains Mailer’s first published statement of his personal belief in a limited God.
Herbert Gold claimed, in a 10 November article in The Nation, that Mailer had been “fired” from the Voice over the Godot piece; Mailer’s own account — and the record of his Days — is that he resigned from active participation in the paper.
