The king did not tell Andiso Khavez to shut up! But he had no reason to.
Norman Mailer died. So I am spending the next few days reading the opinions about him. Here is an unfavorable opinion about him. I can't say to have read him. I guess the literary world I have been reading in has never caused me to pick up one of his books. I can remember seeing him on television. I can remember watching a replay of this CBC panel show where he and Malcolm Muggeridge were having a discussion. Mailer had to leave the program to catch a flight. It was the only time I had ever seen a guest on a show do that. It was bizarre. He had told Muggeridge that they differed about where to draw the line on morality. From what I have heard about Mailer's life, the line may not have ever been drawn. But, Mailer was a talker with a strong personality. He had a literary appearance made for T.V.
