翻译：
Mailer had trouble finding a publisher for his third effort, The Deer Park, because it was considered too overtly sexual. Reviewers dismissed it and wondered whether Mailer was a one-book author who would never again write anything as good as The Naked and The Dead. But today critics have reassessed The Deer Park, and many believe it to be Mailer's best work.
Mailer在为他的第三本小说《廘苑》寻找出版商时遇到了麻烦，因为内容被认为过于色情。评论家表示不认可，并怀疑Mailer是一个只能写一本书的作家，他再也写不出与《裸者和死者》相媲美的作品。但是现在评论家又重新审视了《廘苑》，许多人认为这是Mailer最棒的作品。

Norman Mailer became the articulate voice of the 1960s with writing such as his novel Why Are We In Vietnam? and his eyewitness account of the 1968 presidential nominating conventions, "Miami and the Siege of Chicago." He won the prestigious National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize for Armies Of The Night -- a personal account of the 1967 march on the Pentagon by anti-war activists. He was awarded a second Pulitzer in 1979 for The Executioner's Song, the true story of self-confessed murderer Gary Gilmore.
Norman Mailer凭借他的小说《我们为什么在越南》以及亲眼见证1968年总统提名大会的报告《迈阿密和芝加哥之围》，成为20世纪60年代最有力的声音。他因《夜间的军队》获得享有很高荣誉的美国图书奖及普利策奖，该作品描述了他参加1967年反对五角大楼派军的游行活动。他于1979年因《刽子手之歌》第二次获得了普利策奖，这是一个自白杀手Gary Gilmore真实的故事。

Always a supremely confident extrovert, Mailer at times seemed like a publicity-seeking clown. In 1968, for example, he ran for mayor of New York, campaigning to make the city a separate state. Yet even his harshest critics agreed that Mailer was brilliant, if not a genius.
Mailer一直认为自己是个性格外向的人，有时像是一个追逐名利的小丑。比如，在1968年，他竞选了纽约市市长，想让纽约成为一个独立州。然而甚至是那些对他最苛刻的评论人士也承认，Mailer即使不是个天才，也是个很有才华的人。
