She was born in a tiny Arkansas town and became a model, an actress, a painter and a writer. In the 1970s she dated a little-known, aspiring politician named Bill Clinton. She later went on to marry Norman Mailer, a pioneer in American literature, and stayed married to him for more than 30 years. She faced down ex-wives and lovers by the dozen; she became mother, stepmother and grandmother to an ever-growing brood. Mailer depicts the full evolution of her marriage, from the white-hot beginning through the very rocky patches to the mournful ending.
Mailer, now a Brooklyn resident, is the author of two previous books, Windchill Summer and Cheap Diamonds.
