From one of the major innovators of New Journalism, Norman Mailer's The Fight is the real-life story of a clash between two of the world's greatest boxers, both in and out of the ring, published in Penguin Modern Classics.Norman Mailer's The Fight focuses on the 1974 World Heavyweight Boxing Championship in Kinshasa, Zaire. Muhammad Ali met George Foreman in the ring. Foreman's genius employed silence, serenity and cunning. He had never been defeated. His hands were his instrument, and 'he kept them in his pockets the way a hunter lays his rifle back into its velvet case'. Together the two men made boxing history in an explosive meeting of two great minds, two iron wills and monumental egos.'"If ever a fighter had been able to demonstrate that boxing was a twentieth-century art, it must be Ali", says Norm, and his achievement in this masterly book is of a similar order, demonstrating that writing about sport can also be a twentieth-century art'Geoff Dyer, New Statesman'Probably no one has written about boxing better than Mailer has'Guardian
Norman Kingsley Mailer (January 31, 1923 – November 10, 2007) was an American novelist, journalist, essayist, playwright, activist, film-maker and actor. In a career spanning over six decades, Mailer had 11 best-selling books, at least one in each of the seven decades after World War II—more than any other post-war American The Fight writer.[1]
His novel The Naked and the Dead was published in 1948 and brought him early and wide renown. His 1968 nonfiction novel Armies of the Night won the Pulitzer Prize for non-fiction as well as the National Book Award. His best-known work is widely considered to be The Executioner's The Fight Song, the 1979 winner of the Pulitzer Prize for fiction.
Mailer is considered an innovator of "creative non-fiction" or "New Journalism", along with Truman Capote, Joan Didion, Hunter S. Thompson, and Tom Wolfe, a genre which uses the style and devices of literary fiction in fact-based journalism. He was a The Fight cultural commentator and critic, expressing his views through his novels,
journalism, frequent media appearances, and essays, the most famous and reprinted of which is "The White Negro".
In 1955, he and three others founded The Village Voice, an arts- and politics-oriented weekly newspaper distributed in Greenwich Village. In 1960, he The Fight was convicted of assault and served a three-year probation after he stabbed his wife Adele Morales with a penknife, nearly killing her. In 1969, he ran an unsuccessful campaign to become the mayor of New York. Mailer was married six times and had nine children.
Nachem "Norman" Malech ("King")[b] Mailer The Fight was born to a Jewish family in Long Branch, New Jersey on January 31, 1923.[2][3] His father, Isaac Barnett Mailer, popularly known as "Barney", was an accountant[3] born in South Africa, and his mother, Fanny (née Schneider), ran a housekeeping and nursing agency. Mailer's sister, Barbara, was born in 1927.[4]
The Fight Raised in Brooklyn, New York, Mailer graduated from Boys High School and entered Harvard College in 1939, when he was
16 years old. As an undergraduate, he was a member of the Signet Society. At Harvard, he majored in engineering sciences, but took the majority of his electives as writing The Fight courses.[5] He published his first story, "The Greatest Thing in the World," at the age of 18, winning Story magazine's college contest in 1941.[6]
After graduating in 1943, Mailer married his first wife Beatrice "Bea" Silverman in January 1944, just before being drafted into the U.S. Army.[7] Hoping to gain The Fight a deferment from service, Mailer argued that he was writing an "important literary work" which pertained to the war.[8] This deferral was denied, and Mailer was forced to enter the Army.[9] After training at Fort Bragg, Mailer was stationed in the Philippines with the 112th Cavalry.[10]
During his time in The Fight the Philippines, Mailer was first assigned to regimental headquarters as a typist, then assigned as a wire lineman. In early 1945, after volunteering for a reconnaissance platoon, he completed more
than two dozen patrols in contested territory, and engaged in a few firefights and skirmishes. After the Japanese surrender, he The Fight was sent to Japan as part of the army of occupation, was promoted to sergeant, and became a first cook.[11]
When asked about his war experiences, he said that the army was "the worst experience of my life, and also the most important".[12] While in Japan and the Philippines, Mailer The Fight wrote to his wife Bea almost daily, and these approximately 400 letters became the foundation of The Naked and the Dead.[13] He drew on his experience as a reconnaissance rifleman for the central action of the novel: a long patrol behind enemy lines.[14][15]
Mailer wrote 12 novels in 59 years. The Fight After completing courses in French language and culture at the University of Paris in 1947–48, he returned to the U.S. shortly after The Naked and the Dead was published in May 1948.[16] A New York Times best seller for 62
weeks, it was the only one of Mailer's novels to The Fight reach the number one position.[17] It was hailed by many as one of the best American wartime novels[18] and included in a list of the hundred best English-language novels of the twentieth century by the Modern Library. The book that made his reputation sold over a million copies in its The Fight first year,[19] (three million by 1981)[20] and has never gone out of print. It is still considered to be one of the finest depictions of Americans in combat during World War II.[21][22]
Barbary Shore (1951) was not well received by the critics.[23] It was a surreal parable of Cold War The Fight leftist politics set in a Brooklyn rooming-house, and Mailer's most autobiographical novel.[24] His 1955 novel, The Deer Park drew on his experiences working as a screenwriter in Ho
