Mailer's Greatest Fear

[Ya Sam]

"The venerable writer-cum-political agitator dishes on his hatred for 
Reagan, Bush, Hitler, and — oh, yeah — Pulitzer-winning Times book critic 
Michiko Kakutani:


What is your greatest fear?

That I will never meet Michiko Kakutani and so not be able to tell her what 
I think of her. She has an unseemly haste to rush into print with the first 
very bad review of any book I write. She does this ahead of publication. 
That is a strategy. If the first review of a book is dreadful, an author 
needs at least three good ones to change that first impression."
