SAKI BEAR
Is this the same Norman Mailer who wrote "Harlot's Ghost" and about a gazillion other books? He is listed in the opening credits as screenplay writer. Just checked Wikipedia and yes indeed it is the same Norman Mailer. I highly recommend the aforementioned book, it is about the size of a NYC phone-book but well worth the adventure. A little slow in the beginning, give it time. I am guessing most people will enjoy the roller coaster plot line.
