This week's spiteful story is "A Poetics for Bullies," which Stanley Elkin has described as the best story he ever wrote. In it, Push the Bully comes up against his greatest challenge: a new kid beloved by his classmates and seemingly impervious to Push's efforts to take him down a peg. We've also got stories this week about Gore Vidal and Norman Mailer, two grown men who did not particularly care for each other! For more, including links to some of the feud-related stuff we talked about on the show, visit us online at bookfightpod.com.
