We loved reading this Flavorwire post about literary homes that are up for sale, among them Dracula’s castle in Romania and Norman Mailer’s beachfront pad in Providence, Rhode Island. Mailer and his fourth wife, Norris, lived there for more than 30 years, while he wrote prolifically in his third-floor study, boxed in the basement, and played poker in the dining room.
The author’s oldest son, film producer Michael Mailer, tells The Boston Globe they’re asking $4 million for the waterfront Provincetown house, which is “filled with great memories and great family times,” but the children live in New York and beyond so it’s not practical to keep it in the family.

Hey Ladies!
I just made the trip to Piggott, Arkansas to the Hemingway/Pfeiffer house.

It was quite the experience. I know it’s not featured in Novel Destinations,probably because it was not his home,but his inlaws….Pauline Pfeffier’s parents, but what a Jewel it is. We really enjoyed it a lot….Just thought I’d give you a heads up if you didn’t know about it. It’s a 3 hour drive from St. Louis,and with Hannibal being about an hour drive from St. Louis, would give you 2 reasons to come to the area, eh? I’d love to go back to both places.
Take care!
