Norman Mailer’s Song (1981)

JULY 18 F or a man who knifed his second wife and liked to sucker-punch his friends, Norman Mailer should have known that literary talent doesn't necessarily make you a nice guy. Early this morning, after being told he couldn't use the staff restroom at a small Manhattan cafe, Mailer protégé Jack Henry Abbott stabbed Richard Adan, the 22-year-old son-in-law of the cafe's owner, in the chest, and left...

Norman Mailer’s Timely Take on ‘68 Conventions Reissued

Just in time for this year’s Democratic and Republican national conventions comes this 40th-anniversary edition of Norman Mailer’s groundbreaking New Journalistic study of the 1968 nomination contests, with an introduction by — who else? — Frank Rich. Needless to say, the historical parallels between then and now are plenty and grim, and Mailer’s acid, disabused prose may as well have been written...

Ellen Garrison on ‘All the Sad Young Literary Men’

Are Keith Gessen and his posse really the voice of the Zeitgeist, the intellectual heirs to Norman Mailer and George Plimpton? Or just the highbrow version of Judd Apatow?

The Obama-vore's Dilemma

By Tom Philpott I read once that during the 1960 presidential campaign, John F. Kennedy met Norman Mailer, already a lion of American letters. If I remember correctly, Kennedy let slip that his favorite novel was Mailer's The Deer Park -- thus establishing his impeccable taste and intellectual rigor in the eyes of that mercurial novelist. Mailer went on to write about Kennedy as a kind of existential...

Bill Clinton goes off deep end

The Telegraph UK quotes a “senior Democrat” who said Bill Clinton told friends Obama could “kiss my ass” for support. Someone once said about an exceptionally bad movie that Norman Mailer made that, I have no idea if Norman was drunk when he made this movie, just that I certainly hope he was.

Gore Vidal

Interviewed at the NYT. Your new collection includes an essay in which you note, “Calvino does what very few writers can do: he describes imaginary worlds with the most extraordinary precision and beauty.” What about American novelists? Can’t think of one. Norman Mailer? Oh, dear, we’re not going to go into pluses and minuses now. Philip Roth? Ditto. I [...]

The Devil in Norman Mailer - An Interview by Mike Lee

Sitting across from Norman Mailer, whom I’ve known for close to 30 years now, I’m struck by how regal he looks. This is despite the two distinctly different canes resting at his side and that he appears smaller, sitting in his favorite interview chair. The chair has a fanned headrest that gives him this sense [...]

Gore Vidal: Literary feuds, his ‘vicious’ mother and rumours of a secret love child

From The Independent: "Norman Mailer?" [Vidal once characterised Mailer, Henry Miller and Charles Manson as brother chauvinists who should be collectively referred to as M3.] "Mailer feuded with me. I knew Norman's syndrome. If I was on the cover of Time and he wasn't, my God he would be insulting me in ...
