      When Mailer punched out Gore Vidal at a party, Vidal, while still prone on the floor, quipped, "Norman, once again words have failed you."

      How famous was Norman Mailer back in the day? In 1982, SCTV did a skit about his feud with Gore Vidal, with Eugene Levy as Mailer & Martin Short as Vidalhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVc8LGlR69c …

      Is Norman Mailer being cancelled? Or is his type of literary celebrity, tied to topical news & public feuds, inherently transitory.https://jeetheer.substack.com/p/the-famous-and-the-unread?r=bh54&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email …

          Very true. I didn’t know anyone who read or cared about Norman Mailer when I was in college or afterwards, though I knew plenty who read Boomer heroes like Hunter S. Thompson or William Burroughs. Norman Mailer just isn’t a relevant figure to many people under 55-60 now. https://twitter.com/paulwaldman1/status/1478103594645827587 …

          Hawkes has a pretty strong underground reputation I think, and as of 10 (?) years ago Time was putting Malamud on their big 100 books list. But who the hell is Wright Morris??????

          It's probably a sign of decadence, but wasn't he just a more outre instance of NY Intellectuals squabbling in the 40s? A more colorful but ultimately pale comparison to the original?

          Interesting that there are no responses here regarding Mailer’s treatment of women, including stabbing his wife.

          Really smart piece. I’ve left a long trail of half finished Mailer books on my shelf. He’s tough to read.

          His fame is transitory. Some of his books will last.

          Mailer was very much a product of his time, Vidal transcends it & was a far more interesting writer and speaker
