Lipton’s Journal/Correspondence of Robert Lindner and Norman Mailer/January 13, 1956
| NORMAN MAILER’s Letters |
- To Norman Mailer
- January 13, 1956
Dear Norman,
Perhaps you will forgive my silence when you learn that all the nightmares have finally had triplets and have caught up with me. As of this writing, I am a patient at John Hopkins Hospital, where they are going to try to give me back my tight ass hole. There is nothing more to say, except love.
- Bob
P.S. Last week I was a patient at the Doctor’s Hospital in New York and Billie[1] and Cy[2] came to see me at Johnnie’s[3] urgent request, since she needed Billie. I asked them not to disturb you with all this worry, and that’s why you weren’t told. I would be very grateful to you if you would call them and tell them what’s happened.
Dictated but not read or signed.

- ↑ Johnnie Lindner, Robert Lidner’s wife, who Mailer described as "a sort of pepper pot blonde, pepper pot fire . . . full of strong feelings, full of love, full of lust, full of fire, full of the inability to pardon.”
