mailer

During this time, Mailer also displayed an unexpected humility in the company of his fellow literary stars.

The remark comes to mind while reading The Selected Letters of Norman Mailer.

This is not to suggest that Mailer ever lost the intellectual toughness which was central to his work.

Many readers will no doubt be surprised just how friendly Mailer was, how helpful he was to friends and strangers alike.

“You know, I never had a monstrous ego,” Mailer confides to a friend in l987.

When she entered the editorial office Tom was putting the last of the papers through the mailer.

He inked each galley, placed it in the mailing machine, and then fed the papers into the mailer.

This is a very short and simple entry in Mr. Mailer's journal, but it has most solemn significance.

They had been pledged to furnish this licensed black-mailer with money, and still he was insatiate and unappeased.

If they got us out there they could surround us and mailer the life out of us.
