* Norman Mailer discusses his Hitler novel with Alan Cheuse at Wesley United Methodist Church. It's going to be good because Mailer's mind is deteriorating quickly: "Norman Mailer returns with a new novel, a fictional chronicle of Hitler's boyhood, told by a devil sent by Satan to nurture the nascent evil in the future dictator and mass murderer. Much of the novel is focused on Hitler's father Alois, a minor provincial customs official, who, according to this account, spawned his son from an act of incest." You need tickets, they are $12 and the "conversation" begins at 7PM. [ P&P ]
