  If Norman Mailer was coming into his own today, he would be everywhere. You would not be able to avoid him. Entirely too much energy and damn few boundaries, which is a handicap for some and a gold mine for others.

  It helped that he was brilliant. Otherwise, he would have wound up in maximum security.

  Could you imagine Mailer (who, for some reason, I didn't know was Jewish...), Bukowski, Hemmingway, etc., wasting their time on twitter accounts, websites and so on?

  Besides being a completely repulsive thought due, in part, to the siphoning off of their energies in endless self-promotion and "expressing themselves" in non-profitable ways, it also would have prevented them from being the true freaks they were (assuming they would have prettied-up their thoughts) or absolutely destroyed them in the public eye (if they were honest).
