Follow on Google News | Norman Mailer’s Wife To Sign New Book Of MemoirsNorris Church Mailer's "A Ticket To The Circus" will be released by Random House April 6. She will kick off her book signing tour April 9 at Eureka Springs' New Delhi Cafe.
By: Ken Rundel The author has written two previous books, Windchill Summer and Cheap Diamonds. She was born in a tiny Arkansas town and became a model, an actress, a painter, and a writer. In the 1970’s she dated a little-known, aspiring politician named Bill Clinton, and then went on to marry novelist, journalist, essayist, poet, playwright, screenwriter and film director Norman Mailer. She stayed married to him for over thirty years, facing down ex-wives and lovers by the dozen, and became mother, stepmother, and grandmother to an ever-growing brood. Mailer’ Joyce Carol Oates, who has had over 50 novels published in the last 45 years, called the book “blunt, funny, extraordinarily candid, self-aware, deeply moving, wonderfully entertaining,” Author Douglas Brinkley commented, “Norris Church Mailer writes with grace, clarity, and verve. She achieves what a good memoirist must: believability. Norman Mailer would be proud.” Reading Norris Mailer’s stories is “like sitting down to laugh and cry with an old friend,” according to oft-published poet Jynne Dilling Martin. She continued, “Norris holds nothing back, from showing up to dinner with Oscar de la Renta wearing only a nightgown, to serving coleslaw to Bob Dylan; from the heartbreak of first discovering her husband’s affairs, to saying goodbye to Norman on his deathbed.” Norris Church Mailer is now a resident of Brooklyn, New York. She is the mother of two sons, two stepsons, and five stepdaughters, as well as a grandmother to two and step-grandmother to nine.
