"Metaphor reveals a writer's true grasp of life. To the degree that you have no metaphor, you have not yet lives much of a life."

Rachel.Rencher What do all of the tabs represent? 6y
Quinndm I always mark my favourite parts (moments, dialogue, metaphors, etc) in the books I read. 6y

Mailer is dismissive of pretty much every other writer and work that isn't his and oh geez, is he sexist. I'm out.

Amyegia Haha yeah I agree! Although sometimes I found his cockiness amusing, like... almost refreshing. I mean he owns it. 7y

Interesting insight into his writing, but only a couple of hours in and I realize I don't like Norman Mailer as a person very much.

Hobbinol Another for team Vidal! 8y
