Norman Mailer Stabs Wife - New York City, 1960
In November 1960 the heir to the throne of Ernest Hemingway, Norman Mailer, had decided to enter the race for New York Mayor, and was intending to make an informal announcement during a 30th birthday party he was throwing for the Bronx born boxer Roger Donoghue. A press conference was planned for a day or two later to make a formal announcement: he was to put himself forward as the candidate who, in the words of George Plimpton, “…would represent the disenfranchised of the city.” Mailer’s wife, Adele Morales was none too happy about it.
