RIP, Norman Mailer

We take a break from our regular programming to note the passing of the titanic Norman Mailer. Loved and hated in equal measure, Mailer revolutionized English-language journalism and nonfiction with books like Armies of the Night and Miami and Siege of Chicago, wrote at least one acknowledged classic in The Executioner's Song, and penned a personal favorite, Of a Fire on the Moon. Super perfundo to a genuine mensch.
