This is a fascinating read.
It’s the birthday of Norman Mailer, (books by this author) born in Long Branch, New Jersey (1923). He grew up in Brooklyn, went to Harvard, and then got drafted during World War II. He served in the Philippines, and although he didn’t participate in much fighting, he got enough material to go home and write a novel, The Naked and the Dead (1948), published when he was just 25 years...
