Contributors include Harold Bloom, Jules Feiffer, John Guare,

Norman Mailer, Peter Matthiessen, Maggie Paley, Richard Price,

James Salter, Robert Silvers, William Styron, Gay Talese, Calvin

Trillin, Gore Vidal, and 200 other Plimpton intimates

Norman Mailer said that George Plimpton was the best-loved man in

New York. This book is the party that was George’s life–and it’s a

big one–attended by scores of famous people, as well as

lesser-known intimates and acquaintances. They talk about his life:

its privileged beginnings, its wild and triumphant middle, its

brave, sad end. They say that George was a man of many parts: the

“last gentleman,” founder and first editor of The Paris

Review, the graceful writer who brought the New

Journalism to sports, and Everyman’s proxy boxer,

trapeze artist, stand-up comic, Western movie villain, and

Playboy centerfold photographer.

George’s last years were awesome, truly so. His greatest gift was

to be a blessing to others–not all, truth be told–and that gift

ended only with his death. But his parties, if this is one, need

never end at all.
