    A pompous Ass & a sexist.

    I once ecountered Norman Mailer at a performance arts event at in San Jose Ca. He grabbed my freind, forced her on his lap kissed her hard on tehe lips and whispered in her ear. She boltd off his lap red faced and angry. She would not tell us what he said, as she said it could not be reapeated. Maybe it was part of his performance. As we left we saw him insulting and pawing other women. He was completely full of himself.
