Norman Mailer 1923-2007
I’ve not read as much Mailer as one ought, but I remember as clear as day, sitting down and reading ‘The Fight’, a fantastic evocation of the Ali/Forman fight. I was captivated by Mailer’s screen presence in ‘When We Were Kings’ and rushed out to buy The Fight.
And I saw a wonderful bit of foootage of Mailer vs. Germaine Greer, taking on a favourite subject, feminism, in the 60’s.
Obviously his Pulitzer winning novels, colourful personal life and decent, robust…
