A great literary voice and technophobe, Norman Mailer, passed away today. He lived a full life, so kudos to him. I imagine him, an alleged anti-feminist, being schooled by Dorothy Parker at round table somewhere in the sky.

I love this quote: "Mailer built and nurtured an image over the years as pugnacious, street-wise and high-living. He drank, fought, smoked pot, married six times and stabbed his second wife, almost fatally, during a drunken party."

Well done, Norman.
