Novelist, memoirist, model, actress, mother, famous spouse, expat Southerner. It seems unfair that we're starting to lose a generation of Inimitable Southern Ladies before their time (oh Dixie Carter). I wanted to read Church Mailer's memoir, A Ticket to the Circus, earlier this year (casualty of dissertation prospectus). Guess I'll have to now. I used to feel guilty about remembering to read memoirs by famous people only after their deaths, but all the folks on the subway reading Katharine Graham's bravura Personal History in 2001 convinced me that doing so didn't inherently make me a bad person.
Somehow, I have the impression that Norris would have appreciated that an anecdote included in her obituary sealed the deal for her memoir to become essential reading. From the New York Times:
Before she met Mr. Mailer, she claimed, she had a fling with the then-unmarried Bill Clinton. In her memoir she told the story with characteristic wit. A friend who was in politics told her when Clinton was president, “I guess he slept with every woman in Arkansas except you.”
“Sorry,” she replied. “I’m afraid he got us all.”
