A documentary about the controversial American writer

Since Norman Maner wrote The Naked and the Dead at the age of twenty-five, he has confused and confounded his critics. He has continued to expose his own emotions, weaknesses, and strengths, and those of the society around him, in a way which makes the normally smooth running mechanisms of literary, social, and political criticism grind to a halt.
'I like Norman Mailer as a happening... he's turned himself into his own subject and I think he's pretty splendid'. So says fellow American novelist Gore Vidal, talking about the subject of tonight's programme.
