Goodbye Norman Mailer ~ RIP

Who?  confused:

Quote from: BBC Web Shite
Pulitzer Prize-winning author Norman Mailer has died of renal failure aged 84, his literary executor has said.
Mailer won the prestigious Pulitzer Prize twice, for The Armies of the Night in 1968 and The Executioner's Song in 1979.

I loved him from the moment he asked Roy Plumley if he could have a supply of marijuana as his luxury on Desert Island Discs. Plumley nearly wet himself and pompously told him it was "illegal"

Mailer's works were often filled with violence, sexual obsession and views that angered feminists.

Married six times and the father of nine children, Mailer once said in an NBC television interview that he was worried "wimmin are going to take over the world".


Possibly a relation of Growler's?

Pardon my fckin' ignorance on MOST matters, but WHAT exactly has this got to do with the current topic of this thread?

Is that ok?

Hamilton, who recently published his autobiography, maintained that he also wanted to escape media attention.

He didn’t seem that keen to escape media attention when he was launching his autobiography – wanker! evil:

Growler, I salute you.

We need more good, honest, hard-working people in this country. You are the backbone and unfortunately there are too many useless skin appendages to it, draining the marrow.

Even if you are Scouse.
