| 46 || 2017-09-17 || Dwight Macdonald || Justin and Mike Lennon discuss Norman Mailer’s friendship with literary critic and essayist Dwight Macdonald. In 1974, Mailer wrote the [[Preface to Discriminations|preface]] for Macdonald’s ''Discriminations: Essays & Afterthoughts''. This brief consideration not only reads as an affectionate honorarium to Macdonald, whom Mailer first met in 1949, but also tells of the influence the former editor of ''Partisan Review'' had on Mailer. Both men share a varied attack on style, but also focus, in the vein of Hemingway, on a means in which one can explore the “feel” of phenomenon. || [https://archive.org/details/nms-podcast-46 Archive] || [https://archive.org/download/nms-podcast-46/nms-podcast-46.mp3 MP3]
