2024 Book Festival: How to Come Alive with Norman Mailer

How to Come Alive with Norman Mailer

Monday, November 11 | 7:30 PM

Norman Mailer: a name synonymous with controversy, ego and genius. Existing in the public eye for six decades, Mailer had six marriages, nine children, 11 best sellers and two Pulitzer Prizes. But did the public really know him? This comprehensive project was given full access to Mailer’s family and archives that unearth never-before-seen footage and give the viewer a deeper understanding of the man who once called himself, “a Nijinsky of ambivalence.”
