The Waverly Inn's Norman Mailer Nostalgia
Blackbook has gotten their hands on a Waverly Inn matchbook (Vanity Fair ed Graydon Carter's restaurant), which says "Norman Mailer for Mayor" on it and includes a map of the "city," a cozy pretend Village bounded by "Downtown" and "Uptown." THERE BE DRAGONS. (Meanwhile, Mailer is somewhat inexplicably reprinted in U.S. News today, a 1979 rumination on the '70s.) Click for the map of the Waverly Inn's tiny world!
