Pulitzer-winning author Mailer dies
2007-11-10
A great loss to American literature...if this was 1962.
So long you overated, obnoxious, drunken bum. Say hello to Jack Henry Abbott for me...

#6  Why did he wait so long? He almost murdered his wife in a rage, in the early sixties. When he was arrested he felt sorry for himself, and convinced the woman not to press charges. Later she regretted not sending him to jail.

In the seventies, he directed a movie with Rip Torn and other Hollywood creeps. He told the thespians to "express real emotions." Torn took him at his word and smashed a bottle over the hack's fool head, causing him to bleed profusely.

I will miss Mailer like I miss Truman Capote.

#3  So much for any more of Mailer's clap-trap about his waning libido.
