Love of My Life: A Memoir

Her brother author Norman Mailer became one of the 20th Centurys most celebrated and controversial literary figures. Now 94-year-old Barbara Mailer Wasserman shows that she got writing chops of her own. Whether taking delightful revenge as a kind of proto-Carrie Bradshaw on a rude real-life Randolph Churchill or joining the Spanish resistance to smuggle fascist dictator Francisco Francos political prisoners across the French border or nonchalantly greeting the news that her brothers novel The Naked and the Dead has overnight leapt to the top of bestseller lists Wasserman is openhearted touching whimsical self-revealing and always acutely conscious of her good fortune.
