About this Book

Norman Mailer has often been a focal point of controversy for his novels. In 1960 it was Mailer's personal life that earned him notoriety. After an evening of heavy drinking, Mailer assaulted his then-wife, Adele, with a knife, putting her in intensive care and abruptly ending their marriage. More than 30 years later, Adele Mailer serves up her revenge cold in "The Last Party", a memoir of her life before, during, and after Norman Mailer.
