We're honored to host this talk with filmmaker Jeff Zimbalist, John Buffalo Mailer (youngest son of Norman Mailer), and filmmaker Taylor Purdee. They will discuss Zimbalist’s new documentary, “HOW TO COME ALIVE with Norman Mailer,” which explores the rollercoaster life of the controversial and bestselling author. Propelled by his tremendous ego and contrarian spirit, Mailer’s ceaseless visibility in the public eye lasted 6 decades, during which he had 6 tumultuous marriages, 9 beloved children, 11 bestsellers, 3 arrests, and 2 Pulitzer Prizes. Prophet, hedonist, violent criminal, literary outlaw, and social provocateur, Mailer’s ideas about love, anger, fear, and courage cut to the core of human nature, and are more relevant than ever today. Watch “HOW TO COME ALIVE with Norman Mailer” for free from Oct. 5-12. https://vimeo.com/video/1008458111 Password: cultureconnection Join our conversation: https://www.facebook.com/QPLNYC and https://www.youtube.com/QueensPublicLibrary
