Norris described Norman Mailer as "the Henry Higgins to my Eliza Doolittle."[7] Norris often defended Norman Mailer against critics who claimed Mailer was a misogynist; she also asked for his feedback on drafts of her novels, though his response was sometimes negative, including his remark that one of her works in progress was "not as bad as I thought it would be."[7] Church said she decided to leave Mailer in the early 1990s because of his many affairs, but he dissuaded her (Needs source). Mailer died in 2007.
