Finally! Someone's talking about Mailer.

Was he a blowhard? Sure. Did he write too much? Maybe. That said, he had an intense passion for trying to getting to the root of Gilmore and, in a larger sense, the American "justice" system. If you finished that, proceed to Armies of the Night

Unironically some of the greatest non-fiction ever written
I was lucky enough to get a first (full) edition of Rising Up and Rising Down, and I think this and Vollmann's work are hands down the best I've ever encountered. Reread both at least once a year.

Love Mailer but don't think ES is near his best. Armies of the Night/Miami & Chicago and Of A Fire on the Moon are better.
