So a mammoth figure in American literature has passed away. While I personally admired his obvious devotion to and passion for the written word, "The Executioner's Song" was the only of his works I could get through without feeling immense mental frustration. A case where the craftsman sold himself beyond his tools.
How strange that just yesterday I came across a review of "Schulz and Peanuts" that quoted the comic strip artist thusly: "I can think of few people whose opinions interest me less than Norman Mailer."
Norman Mailer
