The listing's been up for two weeks, but the Times can't get enough of the quirks of writer Norman Mailer's new-to-market apartment at 142 Columbia Heights in Brooklyn Heights. Today's story focuses on the traces of Mailer's life still found in the apartment: the ladders, crow's nest, and gangplank that illustrate Mailer's love of sailing and a National Book Award medal modestly slung over a corner of the guest room mirror. The place is asking $2.5 million, and low bidders will be forced to walk the plank. [NYT; previously]
