If you missed the last episode of
Vidalotry, the podcast about Gore Vidal, please go
have a listen as it covers the vitriolic debates between Vidal and William F. Buckley. It really gets gnarly. This latest episode,
Mean Mad Mailer, continues that story with the contentious relationship between Vidal and
Norman Mailer; involving a bickering debate
and a headbutt. Hearing about this Mailer debacle and how a female journalist on
The Dick Cavett Show put them both in their place is a real treat.
We're halfway through this series overall - there will only be 10 episodes total of
Vidalotry - but it continues to be an impressive list of outlandish and outspoken events.
