"He's very hard to understand," said a friend of Mr. Alterman's who did not wish to be identified. "Because he really is an unbelievable asshole and a really, really great person. He is the worst name-dropper in the world-because he only uses first names. He'll say, 'Oh, I had dinner with Paul [Newman] and Joanne last night...' He is a huge literary starfucker."
