NORMAN MAILER WAS BIGGER THAN LIFE

Our acts in life make us different, we do many things to accomplish our goal until the end of our lives. If we weight our actions and if it weights too much is because our actions are great, we are bigger than life.. Norman Mailer an American rabble-rouser writer was bigger than life, who always wants to say some thing in his American Society. He was and represented the universal voice of postwar period, which was in the vanguard of the complaint and critic. A grand provocateur, Norman Mailer, who has lived and written in the same way as his life brought to The American Literature his exaggerated, irreverent and contentious spirit, he invented a new form to relate the American life from 1948 to 2007. His work reflected the most salient events and the life and death of contemporary personalities that gave Mailer the opportunity to explore violence, sex cruelty, transgression and disorder in American Society.
In Norman Mailer lived forever the spirit of exaggeration. In everything that he did was beyond of the possibilities of normal people. His life was full in excess, fights, debates controversies and adventures in fact, he was a leading role of his own life. Also, he was a great thinker, a great drinker and grand provocateur, this means that he was extreme in his critics, in his acts, and in his affection. Mailer said “There are two kinds of brave men: those who are brave by the grace of nature, and those who are brave by an act of will.” Perhaps those words define him as a brave man by an act of the nature and will.
Norman Mailer was always irreverent during his life; he assumed that “In America few people will trust you unless you are irreverent.” He seemed to be a distressing observer of the mentality of the power and an implacable critic of the American Dream. Mailer never forget his blasphemies against the American Society, he said “Because there is very little honor in American life, there is a certain built in tendency to destroy masculinity in American men.” This irreverence was a shout of freedom into his spirit of nonconformity that made him an unpredictable writer, who resisted to being old until the last instant of his death. In addition, his irreverent spirit made Mailer ventured into radical journalism and he was an obstinate spoken photographer who exposed in an irreverent form how events happened in America.
Nobody like Norman Mailer a contentious man, who took intricate subjects of American life had total conscience of the heroic paper of witness and critic that play in his society. Mailer constructed and refined an image of contentious writer who lived in richness, he said “I hate everything which is not in myself.” Consequently, his ego and writer personality left the scream of American letters with giant footprints.
In conclusion, Norman Mailer the voice of a true writer who lived in the humanity, the writer of “The Naked and the dead” who always defined itself as “ant system” arrived America to be consecrated as one of the great American Authors.
