obituary

Norman Mailer RIP.

I didn't like most of his stuff, but he was an interesting cat and an iconoclast in the old style.

I'm biased, but his best book was The Fight, his insider's coverage of the Rumble in the Jungle between Ali and Foreman. In Ali he met a self confidence and an ego as great as his own, which prevented him from overwhelming the story. I remember the Executioner's Song as being good, but I read it 20 years ago.
I should check out his first novel, too. I hear good things.

Has anyone seen any of his flicks?

Oh, and then there was that little faux pas with murderer Jack Henry Abbot.
Great book, but c'mon.
Note to future generations- the artist is not the art.
