[Dolphy]

He's a Legend of American letters (and a conservative).

Something it seems the linked article didn't offer to explain when noting Mailer's (and others) criticism...the literary establishment turned against over his views.

He was an outspoken defender of Western Culture and disdained multiculturalism to a very Non-PC extent.

The quote he gets credit (or blame) for is "Where's the Zulu Tolstoy? I'll be glad to read him."
