BOSTON: Norman Mailer will read from The Castle in the Forest on Thurs 2/15. Via Bostonist:
"What hasn't Mailer done? He boxed, he co-founded the Village Voice, he stabbed one of his wives with a penknife, and he is the president and founding member of the I-Hate-Michiko-Kakutani Club...Even odder, he made an appearance on Gilmore Girls."
Go for the Pulitzer Prize-winning writing, stay for the WB-worthy acting!
Read a feature on Mailer from last month's Esquire.
