Remembering Mailer Two Years Later
Brooklyn Heights resident, former NYC mayoral candidate and world renown author Norman Mailer died two years ago today from acute renal failure. We thought it appropriate to remember the cantankerous writer with this clip from his 1968 appearance on Firing Line with William F. Buckley Jr.
Also, today’s Brooklyn Eagle has an interesting retrospective on Mailer.

I met Mailer a couple of times, I found him to be the epitome of an entitled, obnoxious, old codger. What a pill.

Banned, he was…Norman Mailer. In old age. You were expecting a TV-show host?

Battle of two towering egos.
Mr. Mailer brings audacity. Mr. Buckley delivers smugness….of, in my opinion, a particularly repellent kind.
