[Literature & Visual Arts] Mailer, Norman. (1923 - 2007) [Regan, Ken]. Original Photograph in boxing ring. Vintage 8 x 10 inch black and white candid photograph of the American author in a boxing ring.
"At least stylistically, Mailer was the greatest boxing writer of all time, although he certainly had rivals (George Plimpton and Joyce Carol Oates among them). His obituary in Sports Illustrated reprinted his central pugilistic theory, which originally ran in Esquire in October 1993: '[Boxing] arouses two of the deepest anxieties we contain. There is not only the fear of getting hurt, which is profound in more men than will admit to it, but there is the opposite panic, equally unadmitted, of hurting others.' (Chuck Klosterman, "Nothing to Worry About," Vanity Fair, 1/31/08)
