It's so saddening that Normal Mailer had died already. I found out about it just last Saturday, when I opened my computer for updates. He died at the age of 84, and he was one of my heroes. I decided not to not to use my computer up until the next day. I thought that all my heroes are leaving, one after another.
Norman and I didn't agree on much, but that doesn't matter. He was a fearless writer, and there are not enough of them to go around.
I spent the rest of the day trying to remember what Norman had done. I couldn't help but recall the 1948 book entitled The Naked and the Dead, which I have read around the year 1969, when I was 16.
I enjoyed reading his first book that I even anticipated for his upcoming new publications. I believe I have read every one of them. Whenever he would appear on television, I would usually sit back and watch him on TV. He was a very interesting person indeed, and that makes him rather different among other writers, and personalities on TV.
I'm pretty sure that I had last seen him on Charlie Rose, and a show that I can't remember at this point. He had a small hearing problem, but he had high spirits. It so saddening that his appearance was just too short.
I am one of the people who disapproved of his politics, but I learned to forgive him eventually. The liberals were just too different compared to Norman Mailer. He stood firm for his beliefs.
Norman, just like any other famous personality, also became a subject among publications and critics. But he didn't care, and they just continued on writing and criticizing him.
The Castle in the Forest was the last book Norman Mailer published, although he had plans on working on a trilogy about Hitler.
The moment I knew that Norman Mailer would appear in Charlie Rose, I became excited.
It was disappointing to hear he had died. There would be no trilogy, and another one of my heroes had just passed away.
I felt better by the next day. But still, I couldn't forget the fact that Norman was just one of the few who would stand for people's rights to defend themselves. I'm sure Norman knew about the weasels in his party. The vast shadow that hid them was not enough to keep Norman Mailer blind. He knew all along that they had no courage at all.
He knew because he had the guts to put himself on the line all the time, whenever he was writing or speaking.
He was a real man and a brave man. He was Norman Mailer, one of the very few.
I think I could imagine how heaven is doing right now, with Norman Mailer around.
If there's somebody who could just keep God on his toes, then the perfect man for that job would be no other than Norman Mailer. - 16755
