Mailer, who died of kidney failure at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City , achieved literary fame at 25 with his first novel, "The Naked and the Dead," based on his experiences during World War II with the Army in the Pacific.

The following essay by Norman Mailer was published in July 2003 issue of The New York Review of Books. We reprint it today - the day of his passing - November 10th 2007. The administration, however, was concerned only with how best to expedite the war. They hastened to look for many a justifiable reason. The Iraqis were a nuclear threat; they were teeming with weapons of mass destruction; they were working closely with al-Qaeda; they had even been the dirty geniuses behind 9/11. The reasons offered to the American public proved skimpy, unverifiable, and void of the realpolitik of our need to get a choke-hold on the Middle East for many a reason more than Israel- Palestine. We had to sell the war on false pretenses. Be it said that the administration knew something a good many of us did not-it knew that we had a very good, perhaps even an extraordinarily good, if essentially untested, group of armed forces, a skilled, disciplined, well-motivated military, career-focused and run by a field-rank and general staff who were intelligent, articulate, and considerably less corrupt than any other power cohort in America. So we went ahead against all obstacles-of which the UN was the first. Wantonly, shamelessly, proudly, exuberantly, at least one half of our prodigiously divided America could hardly wait for the new war. We understood that our television was going to be terrific. And it was. Sanitized but terrific-which is, after all, exactly what network and good cable television are supposed to be.

Full Image NEW YORK (AP) - Norman Mailer, the macho prince of American letters who for decades reigned as the country's literary conscience and provocateur with such books as "The Naked and the Dead" and "The Executioner's Song" died Saturday, his literary executor said. He was 84. Mailer died of acute renal failure at Mount Sinai Hospital, said J. Michael Lennon, who is also the author's biographer. From his classic debut novel to such masterworks of literary journalism as "The Armies of the Night," the two-time Pulitzer Prize winner always got credit for insight, passion and originality. Some of his works were highly praised, some panned, but none was pronounced the Great American Novel that seemed to be his life quest from the time he soared to the top as a brash 25-year-old "enfant terrible."

"[He] may be the second or third most horrible man I met in my life," Mailer said at a Film Society of Lincoln Center event in Manhattan on Sunday. Oh, snap! "I knew Godard would destroy any script I wrote for King Lear because he hated scripts. He considered them his personal antagonists. Godard and I got along for 24 hours before we split our ways." Who else shares tops the most horrible people list, an audience member wanted to know. "Number two was Ronald Reagan. He was the second most ignorant president we've ever had," Mailer said to laughter and applause, taking the opportunity a bit later to deflate part of the Reagan legacy. "Communism died with a whimper," he said. "And so we had to replace it with something. And we've replaced it with terrorism. And bullshit mountain has grown again. We are a country that lives under the oppression of bullshit mountain, and none of our politicians have the power of grace, wit, or the simple lack of self-preservation to attack it." Fortified with red meat, the clearly liberal audience roared again. By Laurie Heifetz 07/24/07 4:02 PM File Under: Jean-Luc Godard Norman Mailer ON THE SCENE Top ...

Hughes Norman Mailer rarely gives interviews anymore; they distract from his writing. Instead, the father of five daughters and four sons lives a quiet life with his sixth wife, Norris Church Mailer, dividing his time between homes in Brooklyn Heights and Provincetown, on Cape Cod. Once Mailer does consent to talk for the record, however, he holds nothing back. Both delightful and fierce, Mailer drives a conversation like Coney Island's notorious Cyclone roller coaster. And as he looks back on the highs and lows of his colorful career, you realize it's been one hell of a ride. Like Byron, Mailer awoke one morning to find himself famous. In 1948, just four years out of the army, the 25-year-old Mailer published

Mailer, who died aged 84 in November, lived too much of his life in public for there to be major surprises in the archive. But it does provide intriguing insights into a character often obscured by bombast. He confessed irritation with being thought of as the best journalist in America - he thought himself the best writer. That view was disputed by feminists on both sides of the Atlantic who objected to his personal life (he had six wives, nine children and numerous affairs) as well as his writing.

I would add that he had the taste of Snopes, but why advertise William Faulkner, who’s responsible for everything godawful in American penmanship—one can’t call it letters.” Andy Warhol said, “I always thought Norman kept a low profile.

Opinion Why we should weep for Mailer Email Printer friendly version Normal font Large font Sacha Molitorisz November 14, 2007 THE ZEITGEIST THE fight is over. Norman Mailer is dead. Aged 84, the pugnacious Pulitzer winner hit the canvas for the final time at the weekend. And should anyone care? Should anyone lament a bloke who head-butted peers and stabbed one of his six wives with a penknife? Born in New Jersey in 1923, Mailer was the bad boy of postwar American literature. After serving in World War II he had a critically acclaimed bestseller with The Naked And The Dead , an early success to which he responded in a manner that came to define his personality: brawling, boozing and womanising. For him this was how a man behaved. "Masculinity is not something given to you, but something you gain," he said. "And you gain it by winning small battles with honour." Or by landing jabs and hooks. Mailer loved boxing and sparring with a passion. In 1971, after Gore Vidal wrote "there has been from Henry Miller to Norman Mailer to Charles Manson a logical progression", Mailer head-butted Vidal. He head-butted Truman Capote too. The nadir came in 1960, when he stabbed his second wife at a party. Mailer used words like weapons too. Among other dubious crusades, he helped free a convicted killer who went on to murder a man six weeks after his release.

The Mailer materials, the Harry Ransom Center's largest single-author archive, includes handwritten and typed manuscripts, galley proofs, screenplays, correspondence, research materials and notes, legal, business and financial records, photographs, audio and video tapes, books, magazines, clippings, scrapbooks, electronic records, drawings and awards that document the life, work and family of Mailer from the early 1930s to 2005. Mailer died on Nov. 10 at the age of 84. "Norman Mailer's ambition was to write the greatest American novel," said Thomas F. Staley, director of the Ransom Center. "Perhaps he failed, but he was indeed a major American writer. His engagement with the culture, sometimes combative and bombastic, but always interesting, made him a dominant literary and cultural figure of the second half of the 20th century." The Ransom Center announced in 2005 the acquisition of Mailer's archive, which included materials associated with every one of his literary projects, whether completed or not. Materials from 2005 to Mailer's death will be integrated into the archive at a later date.

THE TIME OF OUR TIME, by Norman Mailer. Random House. $39 Time's Up O ne evening recently I was having supper with my father at a diner on Manhattan’s Upper East Side when his eye was caught by something outside the front window. “Look who it is,” he said. I followed his gaze to see a short, stocky figure in a tuxedo, some distance down the sidewalk. He had just emerged from Elaine’s, the famous celebrity bistro a few doors away, and was moving, very, very slowly, in our direction. We watched him as he made his way, with what seemed considerable effort, to the public phone a few feet from our table. When he lifted the receiver from its hook, he seemed to feel burdened by its weight, and when he fed a coin into the box his hand trembled. It was Norman Mailer. The sight of him shocked me. He looked terribly tired and feeble, and far too small ever to have been an actor in any of the aggressive, macho scenarios I had read about over the years, in his own work and elsewhere. He looked like a man who had been worn down by life and was now just dragging himself through the motions – who pulled on his tuxedo of an evening and went to Elaine’s, that not-so-clean, not-so-well-lighted place, simply because there was nowhere else to go if you were Norman Mailer and had made of your life what you had made of it. And this was a man whom, perhaps more than anyone in the last half century, one had always tended to picture in action, making a ruckus – and making noise, too, whether he actually had anything worthwhile to say or not.

Place Pulitzer Prize Winner Norman Mailer Dies By Alex Tresniowski Originally posted Saturday November 10, 2007 12:00 PM EST Photo by: Leonhard Foeger / Reuters / Landov Norman Mailer, perhaps the most towering figure in 20th-century American literature, died today of acute renal failure at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City at the age of 84, his literary executor said. Boldly creative and defiantly original to the end, he published two books this year, one about Hitler and one about God, to cap a prodigious six-decade literary career. Mailer barreled his way through a life that was at least as dramatic and scandalous as that of any character in his 10 novels. He fought in a war and hung out with hippies; he acted, directed and produced several films; he ran for mayor of New York City; he brawled with men and women alike; he befriended killers and bashed presidents; he wrote some of the seminal works of the past century, including 1948's

HOME Features norman mailer, tom junod, manhood, naked and the dead, existential, world war II, castle in the forest November 10, 2007, 11:55 AM Norman Mailer: The Last Man Standing With Norman Mailer's passing at the age of eighty-four on November 10, we republish the last profile ever written about him, from our January 2007 issue. By Tom Junod more from this author Photograph by Steve Pyke "Nobody was born a man," he once wrote. "Manhood was earned provided you were good enough, bold enough." He also wrote that "there are two kinds of brave men: those who are brave by the grace of nature, and those who are brave by an act of will." He was writing about Hemingway, whom he placed in the second category, but he was also writing about himself, as he always did. Nobody writes like that anymore. Manhood, and the courage necessary to attain it, were once the great subjects of American fiction, or at least the American fiction written by men. Now they aren't even considered operative concepts, much less subjects suitable for great novels. But Norman Mailer was right when he wrote those words, and he's still right today, even though his circumstances have changed. Had he written them today, he might have been moved to state the obvious: Nobody was born an old man, either. But the sentence that he wrote on bravery could have been left as is, for it still applies, even to the young men who don't want to admit it, and it still applies to Mailer, even as he climbs the stairs. There's no elevator.
