Review

"The impression left by this fine book is of a brilliant, likeable writer who loves his country and who combines a very American distrust of authority with an unrepentant faith in the power of the male fist."

"She likes cuss words as much as Mailer does, and she likes to knock the stuffing out of him when she finds him too upholstered....But Dearborn knows that her subject has written masterpieces, and that his story is crucial to understanding America in the 20th century's second half."

"[Dearborn's] biography is frank without descending into meanness....Dearborn's research proves solid. Her writing is clear, with enough flair to enhance a traditional, chronological account of a life still unfinished....[I]t would take a mighty inept biographer to make such a brawling, self-absorbed person dull, and Dearborn is anything but inept."

Publisher's note

Undeniably one of the most controversial figures of the past half-
century, Norman Mailer has also been one of the most influential. Mary Dearborn's account of his life is the fairest and most balanced evaluation to date. ôDearborn captures the heart of the heavyweight ego who has knocked out thirty-one books, six wives, nine children, and a mayoral runö (Vanity Fair). Mailer's story is, for good or ill, the story of our times. Mailer: A Biography ôcan serve as entertainment, or it may push the reader to reread and reconsider Mailerö (Rocky Mountain News).

Annotation

This biography of Norman Mailer covers his life from his childhood, through his wives and mistresses and arrests and activism, to his still-turbulent old age. A New York Times Notable Book for the year 2000.
