Norman Mailer

popular name: Norman Mailer

date_of_death: November 10, 2007

age: 84

cause_of_death: Acute renal failure

claim_to_fame: Writers and Poets

best_know_for: Norman Mailer was a writer and serial philanderer and homophobe who enjoyed violence against women - both in his writings and in real life. He wasn't just callous and amoral, he relished violence. Mailer stabbed his wife, Adele Morales, in a drunken rage in November 1960 and beat his fourth wife repeatedly. And if that weren't bad enough, Mailer championed the release of an inmate, Jack Henry Abbott, who murdered a young waiter in Greenwich Village just weeks after getting parole in 1981. Consequently his standing as a great American writer quickly diminished upon his death.

He was awarded the 1964 Nobel Prize in Literature despite attempting to refuse it.
