...Mailer literally tried to incite controversy. Near the end of the event, he requested that the audience ask him a rude question. Subsequently, he was confronted by a woman about his controversial relationship with women. Mailer has been severely criticized for the sexual violence in his work and his serial monogamy (he has had six wives, one of whom he stabbed with a penknife). “I’m innocent,” he said. “Among the injustices of the feminine revolution—along with the achievements?...

It's the familiar Freudian tale of a man acting as his own psychoanalyst, plumbing the past to unearth some terrible secret, which he then tries to exorcise - all right, by becoming a serial killer.

Only in 2001 did Canada's national police force, then investigating a separate case of prostitute serial killings in the province, team up with Vancouver police. The joint task force now lists more than 60 missing women; police said the DNA, remains or belongings of about half of those have been linked to Pickton's pig farm...
