Norman Mailer, the author of “The Naked and the Dead”, died last night in New York. He was 84.

He won the Pulitzer Prize twice (The Armies of the Night, 1968 & The Executioner's Song, 1979) and he helped found The Village Voice newspaper in New York.

Besides writing great dialog, his writing was filled with violence, sexual obsession and views that created some rather noisy criticism.
