On Tuesday night, inside the cavernous hall of Cipriani 42nd Street, a group of the country’s best writers and thinkers gathered together to celebrate the memory of author Norman Mailer—and the writers’ colony in Provincetown, Massachusetts, that now exists in his name. The first annual gala and benefit to celebrate the colony, which completed its first season in September, honored both the late, legendary journalist David Halberstam and the Nobel winner Toni Morrison with achievement awards, and was hosted by New Yorker writer Calvin Trillin.
