Norman Mailer
Norman Mailer was an influential American novelist, journalist, and playwright known for his provocative and often controversial writing style. He gained prominence in the literary world with his groundbreaking works such as 'The Naked and the Dead' and 'The Executioner's Song.' Mailer was not only a key figure in the literary scene of the 20th century but also a public intellectual who engaged in debates on politics, society, and culture. His pursuit of a blurb from Ernest Hemingway, delivered in an aggressive tone, exemplified the lengths to which writers would go for literary validation.
Born on Jan 31, 1923 (102 years old)
