life. i knew him. talked to him a lot. talked to norah about liking, loving, hating. he was a complex guy who became more complex as he got into being a newspaper columnist in new york city. to see the play is a vivid, vivid portrait of who mac mac mcillary is. as tom said he s the kind of guy who would miss a subway stop to see if anybody was reading him. i had notes that was sent to me, a guy wrote a book that mcillary sent him a note, it s two sentences long but it s an obscene note i couldn t repeat it on taxpayer. he did not like the book. okay, that s fair. let the guy two and quickly scribbled a two sentence note. talk about the parallels about the end of his life and norah knowing that she was, she might be dying, she was sick.
