Norman Mailer – Uber-Troll

By -

I happened to trip across this clip from the old Dick Cavett show, which features Gore Vidal, Norman Mailer, and Janet Flanner Paris.

It's a fascinating clip, because Mailer's absolutely gigantic ego conspires to make him look like an utter ass, his body packed with misogynistic hate and bile. It's sort of like a visit to IBC decades before it was even created.

I'll put myself in Dick Cavett's chair, Market Sniper as Gore Vidal, and Leisa as the ever-classy Ms. Paris. Enjoy:
