Mailer Tells Harper's — Me, Too

Barbara Trecker's New York Post report that, in the wake of Willie Morris's resignation, Mailer said he would not write for Harper's in the future and praised Morris's courage.

“Mailer Tells Harper’s — Me, Too,” an article by Barbara Trecker in the New York Post (6 March 1971). In the wake of Willie Morris‘s resignation, triggered by the publication of “The Prisoner of Sex” (71.10), Mailer says he will not write for Harper’s in the future — a vow he kept — and praises Morris’s “extraordinary courage.”
