ストーリー
The Armies of the Night chronicles the famed October 1967 March on the Pentagon, in which all of the old and new Left - hippies, yuppies, Weathermen, Quakers, Christians, feminists, and intellectuals - came together to protest the Vietnam War. Alongside his contemporaries, Mailer went, witnessed, participated, suffered, and then wrote one of the most stark and intelligent appraisals of the 1960s.

ストーリー
There had been mythic sports figures before Cassius Clay, but when he burst upon the sports scene in the 1950s, he broke the mold. Those were the years when boxing and boxers were at the mercy of the mob and the whim of the sportswriters. If you wanted a shot at a title, you did it their way. Young Clay did it his way - with little more than an Olympic gold medal to his credit, he danced into Sonny Liston's baleful view and provoked the terrifying champ into accepting him as his next challenger. The rest is history.

For many, the moon landing was the defining event of the twentieth century. So it seems only fitting that Norman Mailer - the literary provocateur who altered the landscape of American nonfiction - wrote the most wide-ranging, far-seeing chronicle of the Apollo 11 mission. A classic chronicle of America's reach for greatness in the midst of the Cold War, Of a Fire on the Moon compiles the reportage Mailer published between 1969 and 1970 in Life magazine

As America's foremost public intellectual, Norman Mailer was a ubiquitous presence in our national life - on the airwaves and in print - for more than sixty years. With his supple mind and pugnacious persona, he engaged society more than any other writer of his generation. The trademark Mailer swagger is much in evidence in these pages as he holds forth on culture, ideology, politics, sex, gender, and celebrity, among other topics.

Amid the cactus wilds some two hundred miles from Hollywood lies a privileged oasis called Desert D'Or. It is a place for starlets and would-be starlets, directors, studio execs, and the well-groomed lowlifes who cater to them. And, as imagined by Norman Mailer in this blistering classic of 1950s Hollywood, Desert D'Or is a moral proving ground, where men and women discover what they really want - and how far they are willing to go to get it.

This is the story of his absurd life - a life that is going well enough until a chemical spill from a rail car releases an Airborne Toxic Event, and Jack is forced to confront his biggest fear: his own mortality. White Noise is an effortless combination of social satire and metaphysical dilemma in which Don DeLillo exposes our rampant consumerism, media saturation and novelty intellectualism.

Their dislike encompasses the rest of the known universe, and England's soccer thugs express it in ways that range from mere vandalism to riots that terrorize entire cities. Now, Bill Buford, editor of the prestigious journal Granta, enters this alternate society and records both its savageries and its sinister allure.

ストーリー
From his 1935 debut with "The Universal History of Iniquity", through his immensely influential collections Ficciones and The Aleph, these enigmatic, elaborate, imaginative inventions display Borges' talent for turning fiction on its head by playing with form and genre and toying with language.
あらすじ・解説
In 1974 in Kinshasa, Zaïre, two African American boxers were paid five million dollars apiece to fight each other. One was Muhammad Ali, the aging but irrepressible "professor of boxing." The other was George Foreman, who was as taciturn as Ali was voluble. Observing them was Norman Mailer, a commentator of unparalleled energy, acumen, and audacity. Whether he is analyzing the fighters' moves, interpreting their characters, or weighing their competing claims on the African and American souls, Mailer's grasp of the titanic battle's feints and stratagems - and his sensitivity to their deeper symbolism - makes this book a masterpiece of the literature of sport.

I enjoyed the heck out of this audiobook
Here is one of the best writers of his generation writing about the best fighter of that time. The book is read by the best and most aptly chosen narrator I remember hearing. The book is of course dated in some of its language and cultural assumptions, being both sexist and racist as context demands. Nevertheless: what a book, even if you're not all that into boxing. I'm not sure they write them like this anymore. I had so much fun.

Worth the time to read or listen to
Of course I like the description of the fight most of all, but overall a good book. It helps people who don't remember the way George Foreman and Muhammad Ali actually used to be thought of before they got old. Before Foreman became a nice guy who sold grills, and before Ali became famous for his philanthropy and valiant battle with Parkinson's syndrome.

Boxing's Heavyweights by a Literary Heavyweight
The great triumph of Ali over Foreman in Zaire gets first class coverage by Norman Mailer. With a novelist's flair, Mailer reports on Ali's shocking upset win over George Foreman. Foreman had bludgeoned his way to an Olympic gold medal and then utterly demolished virtually every professional that came his way. Mailer brings us inside the chaos of Zaire, and we get a peek into the camps and personas of both Ali and Foreman. Oddly enough, the most interesting characters in the book are Drew Bundini Brown and the assorted fighters who served as sparring partners for Ali and Foreman. Ali was a huge underdog in the match against a young and terrifyingly destructive Foreman. But Mailer gives the listener a sense of the head games that Ali played on the mind of his less worldly opponent. The culmination of the book is the round by round deconstruction of the fight. Ali's victory seems very much in doubt throughout this book as Foreman stages small rallies and lands blows that would never have landed before in Ali's prime. The genius of Ali and Mailer captures this well, is that Ali made the adjustments and knew better than his corner that the tactics he adopted for Foreman would wear the younger man down.
This is a treat for the boxing fan. More though, it is a treat for the fan of good nonfiction. I have always felt that Mailer's fiction, with the exception of The Naked and the Dead, is quite overrated, but feel that his nonfiction writing (particularly on politics) will stand the test of time. I am not sure we will ever see boxing return to this type of prominence and perhaps it shouldn't. I do know that few writers will ever write this well about sports again.

Narrator refers to himself in 3rd person.
So as the title states the author refers to himself in 3rd person. Really confused me for a bit! However, besides this an excellent book. I wanted to listen to something on Ali and this was rated as one of the top books about him. I was looking for a biography, and instead got this singular moment in a storied career. It was a suspenseful listen because I had no idea about the outcome of the “Rumble In The Jungle.” As others have states chapters 13-15 is some of the best sports writing you will ever read/listen to.

Can't decipher where Norman Mailer writes.
Although I recognise much of the writing as Norman Mailers prose I cannot decipher where Norman Mailer writes and the narrator speaking about Mailer begins.
The story itself is the stuff of legend.
Although some chat of witchcraft no mention of "The succubus has got him!" of witch which apparently put a spell on Foreman. This added much to the story in When we were Kings. No dwelt on in this story.
Nevertheless good.

My first Mailer...
And I’m wondering why I’ve got to this age without him! A product of this time, his views reflect an era of masculine dominance and female subservience but put this aside to soak up his prowess and genius. Find yourself listening to pages over and over again for their beauty and power.
This book is truly artful.

Masterfully written!!
Masterfully written, capturing Africa, the characters surrounding one of the greatest sporting comebacks of all time, and an era pre
Internet and mobile phone. Mailer seems to have fallen out of favour in modern times, but a fine craftsmen of the English language, seamlessly weaving narrative as rich in substance and colour as you would find in any where.
