I thought some of the other blokes were emasculated too though - what about Cohn? A powerful boxer, but Brett manages to humiliate him because she doesn't subcribe to the one-man-one-woman POV.

Again some lovely writing spoiled by some affectation. I’m reading the Ali Foreman fight doco book by NM. Again some lovely writing spoiled by some affectation.

Classic Hemmingway. Yes, there will be a few Mailers coming up (The Naked and the Dead and Armies of the Night). Yeah, with Mailer I think there sometimes more affected machismo rather than the real thing. With Hemmingway you know that there's no acting going on - it's the real him as terrifying as that is....

Have you a Mailer on the list? Taken two out recently, but he has this awful habit of writing about himself in the 3rd person every now again, which must have seemed a hideous mistake even then. These episodes separate some really good writing, but someone who writes "the popular young author thought..." about himself is never going to out manly Hemingway. Strangely I’ve never read this one.
