CAROLE MALLORY SUES - ONGOING

THE INQUIRER : PHILADELPHIA DAILY: OCTOBER 2014: NORMAL MAILER MISTRESS SUES HIS ESTATE  by Victor Fiorillo 

EXCERPT: Mallory, a Springfield High and Penn State graduate, has filed a libel and defamation suit against Mailer’s estate, the estate of his widow, prominent New York attorney Ivan Fisher, publisher Simon & Schuster, and author and Mailer archivist J. Michael Lennon over statements made in Lennon’s 2013 book, Norman Mailer: A Double Life, which is set to be released in paperback on October 15th.


There are two key passages in the Lennon book that Mallory highlights in her complaint.

First, Fisher, Mailer’s attorney and close friend, says that Mailer’s relationship with Mallory was “100 percent sexual.”

“There wasn’t the teeniest, tiniest nanogram of anything other than sex involved there,” says Fisher in the 960-page book. But Mallory claims that it went well beyond sex. She says that their relationship was also “one of mentor and student” and that the two had a “loving relationship.”

The book also suggests that Mallory taught Mailer about “venality” and quotes Mailer’s widow as saying that Mallory had “gotten the last nickel she was going to get out of Norman.”
