Good monday morn, GEC. Thanks for the bump to this absolutely on target essay.

Norman Mailer, who had been uncharacteristically slow out of the starting gate, soon came up strong on the inside by comparing the Twin Towers to “two huge buck teeth,” and pronouncing the ruins at Ground Zero “more beautiful than the buildings were.”

So in the wake of more than 3000 dead, millions of lives directly affected, tens of billions of dollars in destruction, this jerk starts spouting off his nihilistic nonsense as some sort of highbrow architectural and societal commentary.

And he is one of New York's own, to boot.
