Norman Mailer (1923-2007)

The last time he appeared in public, I recall Mailer stating with a
strikingly decided air of certainty, that this was apt to be the last
public appearance of his life. It's on streaming video from C-SPAN2's
BookTV . . .

In a program entitled "The 20th Century on Trial" Nobel Prize winning
novelist, Gunter Grass and Pulitzer Prize winning author Norman Mailer
discuss their life and work with novelist Andrew O'Hagan.

That's one last little giant gone back up the beanstalk, and not many,
if any remaining to follow after.
