The following appeared in the V. Voice in 1956 in Norman Mailer's Column. Poor Mailor, he apparently got into a bit of a scuffle about the little typo. I think it's rather hilarious and actually like the idea of growth being a bit of a "nuisance". Anyway, there you go - "did you really believe that?". Happy 50th b-day to the Voice.
Last week a classic of this sort occurred. Writing about Hip, part of my final sentence was supposed to read:
. . . because Hip is not totally negative, and has a view of life which is predicated on growth and the nuances of growth, I intend to continue writing about it . . .
As it appeared in The Voice, it read:
. . . because Hip is not totally negative, and has a view of life which is predicated on growth and the nuisances of growth, I intend to continue writing about it . . .
