Lean over on the bookcase

Read Norman Mailer
Or get a new tailor...

Wow, that was pretty sudden...I just remember reading something about him just the other day where it seemed he had plenty of vigor left in him. Far too much a slave to machismo at times, but his relationship to it was complex, and that's the worst I can say about him. A damn fine artist...

Definitely an iconoclast. I mean, a leftie with a love for boxing? Faults and all, he was one of a kind.

The Executioner's Song is one of the greatest books I've ever read.
