Sketchy report garnered from Liz Smith’s column on [[Norman Mailer|Mailer]]’s divorce from wife number four, [[Beverly Bentley]], followed by marriage to [[Carol Stevens]], with whom he lived from 1969 to 1975, then immediate divorce from her and immediate marriage (on 11 November) to [[Norris Church Mailer|Norris Church]], with whom he lived since 1975. Mailer described the marriage to and divorce from Stevens as “civilized,” undertaken to “honor” his years with her and their child, [[Maggie Mailer|Maggie]]. The article is accompanied by photographs of all six of his wives, and quotes from Church and Bentley. An editorial in &#039;&#039;New York Times&#039;&#039;, 19 October, Sec. 4, p. 30, subtitled “Mailer’s Ring Cycle,” lauds Mailer for these marriages: “In a time when the very idea of matrimony is in question, when parents are becoming an endangered species . . . Norman Mailer comes along and reminds us of the verities. . . . Call the novelist a matrimaniac, or call him a mensch. We call Norman Mailer a still point in a turning world.” See also “The Amours of Norman, Chapters 5 and 6,” &#039;&#039;New York Times&#039;&#039;, 14 October, Sec. B, p.12; [[78.4]], [[78.5]], [[79.2]]–[[79.5]], [[79.8]].<br /> <br /> {{1970s|state=collapsed}}<br /> {{1980s|state=expanded}}<br /> {{1990s|state=collapsed}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Works]]<br /> [[Category:Works in the 1980s]]<br /> [[Category:Works in 1980]]<br /> [[Category:Articles]]</div>
