I love this story: Norman Mailer punches Gore Vidal for dissing his writing. Still on the floor, Vidal said, “Words fail Norman Mailer yet again.” (I know it's old news, tell New York Magazine.)
Who would argue with a man who came back with such a rejoinder without even getting up first?

Gore Vidal always impressed me. Mailer always irked me. Great story.

Gore Vidal is, if anything, underrated. Mailer is overrated.
