Norman Mailer
Author

In conversation with Barbara Lane, Good Lit Series Director

The first of The Commonwealth Club's Medallion Series speakers for our centennial year, Norman Mailer was asked to pose what he sees as the greatest challenge facing humanity in the 21st century - and what can be done to meet the challenge.
