I think the first “serious” novel I read was Mailer’s Naked and the Dead.
In the past year, Mailer gone. Vonnegut gone. Bellow gone. I wonder which high school favourites are left? I’ll have to think about that one.
RIP, mr. mailer.
aging idealist. ai and education, open web, open publishing.
Salinger? Except with him, when he dies, a ton of stuff will be published. He’s 88 now.
