Norman Mailer Turns 80

Today's Times article on Mailer

He is to onery to die I think.

He's calmed down considerably, but you just may be right! He was on Charlie Rose the other night.

I wish I had seen Mailer on Charlie Rose, even though Charlie is my least favorite interviewer. Did he say anything interesting???

Larry, it is archived here - you can listen to it, no picture

Charlie Rose Archives

Its at January 29, 2003 -

"Author Norman Mailer talks with Charlie Rose about his new book "The Spooky Art: Some Thoughts on Writing" and career accomplishments."
Its a nice mix of whats happening today in politics, and reflections on his career.

If you don't mind being on a daily e-mail list, there is one for Rose - I usually forget to check to see who is on Charlie Rose, and that is when I miss someone interesting. The e-mail is a reminder of who is on every night.

Larry:

Thanks for the Charlie Rose link but I don't have the software to listen to the archived interview, nor do i want to buy it just for this purpose. As I said, Charlie Rose is not my favorite interviewer!

Larry, I understand about Charlie Rose. The software is free and automatically installs itself.

Larry, if you have CSPAN2 on cable, Norman Mailer is on BOOKTV this weekend, Sunday morning at 9:30 EST. It is a 90 minute interview before an audience, and its a very good show.
