Mailer, Miles, Movies
Literary legend Norman Mailer talks with Kurt Andersen about The Castle in the Forest, Mailer’s first novel in ten years. Our American Icons series continues with a deep look at Miles Davis’ Kind of Blue — maybe the most recognizable, and the best-selling, jazz record ever. Plus Kurt gets the inside dope on talent picking from two casting directors who discovered Julia Roberts and Leonardo DiCaprio.
