TT: Survival kit

I brought five books to Louisville to read in between rehearsals of The King’s Man, two for professional reasons and three purely for pleasure:
• A set of bound galleys of J. Michael Lennon’s Norman Mailer: A Double Life, which is, as God is my witness, 914 pages long
• A set of bound galleys of The Most of Nora Ephron
• Tom Wolfe’s Back to Blood, which for some reason I didn’t read when it came out last year
• Wesley Stace’s Charles Jessold, Considered as a Murderer (which holds up very well the second time around)
• James Gould Cozzens’ Guard of Honor, my favorite American novel of World War II
We’ll see whether they last me through Sunday. The score so far is four down and one to go….
