Article Excerpt:

The two of them met in a living room in Paris in 1956.  

James Baldwin was 32. Norman Mailer, a year older. And yet, in the few weeks they spent roaming the streets of Paris, the younger Baldwin would describe Norman as a “gladiator,” someone whom he envied because of “his youth, and his love.”
