[Bill, November 12, 2007]
Norman Mailer, RIP
Late on this. Former Jersey-Shore writer Norman Mailer has died (yes, I'm joking about the JS part. He was born in Long Branch, NJ, but grew up in Brooklyn.) Maybe now that he's passed, I'll read one of his books. I've only read a few excerpts. Reading some of the obits, he seemed like a complex fellow. RIP.
Eric Blair (mail):
You gotta see the clip on youtube with Rip Torn and Mailer in some weird fight in the 60's. Totally surreal. I think Torn was trying some sort of whacked out method acting.

I didn't think much of the guy, or his writing.
