The only things I ever really knew about Norman Mailer was that he was a writer, and he was very anti-War. Then I read his obituary in the Washington Post. I never realized what a life this man lived. Some of the highlights that impressed me: he helped create the sexual mystique of John Kennedy before he was elected President, he was married six times, and he punched Gore Vidal in the face. When I have more time, I would like to try and read some of his books.
