Mailer's major new journalism, or creative nonfiction, books also include "Miami and the Siege of Chicago" (1968), an account of the 1968 political conventions; "Of a Fire on the Moon" (1971), a long report on the Apollo 11 mission to the moon; "The Prisoner of Sex" (1971), his response to Kate Millett's critique of the patriarchal myths in the works of Mailer, Jean Genet, Henry Miller and D.H. Lawrence; and "The Fight" (1975), an account of Muhammad Ali's 1974 defeat in Zaire of George Foreman for the heavyweight boxing championship. "Miami", "Fire" and "Prisoner" were all finalists for the National Book Award. The hallmark of his five New Journalism works in his use of illeism, or referring to oneself in the third person, rather than the first. Mailer said he got the idea from reading "The Education of Henry Adams" (1918) when he was a Harvard freshman. Mailer also employs many of the most common techniques of fiction in his creative nonfiction.
