The Three Stooges haven't been heard from much lately, until Mailer recently came out with his first novel in ten years, much anticipated and hyped by the intelligentsia. There was a long, fawning review in the NY Times Book Review last month, which got it on the bestseller list briefly, but I see it is now off. I tried to read the review but couldn't get through it. The narrator of the story is the devil, who no doubt Mailer has sympathy for. I liked this letter that appeared in a following issue of the book review. To the Editor: Lee Siegel's essay on Norman Mailer's "Castle in the Forest" is the most addlepated review I have ever read. It is a naked display of idiocy, a crowning achievement of impenetrable nonsense. Of course, that describes the review, not the book. But the reviewer was so enamored with the book, I think we can apply that very artful putdown to the book as well. :)
