The Last Party
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Last Party is a 1997 book by Adele Morales, second wife of Norman Mailer, whom she married in 1954. It was published in the US by Barricade Books.
The book is a memoir of Morales' and Mailer's marriage; among other things, it outlines her perception of an incident in 1960, when Mailer stabbed her with a penknife at a party, causing her to be admitted to University Hospital in Manhattan for treatment of her injuries. Morales made a full physical recovery, and divorced Mailer as a result of the incident. The stabbing incident has been a focal point for feminist critics of Mailer, who point to themes of sexual violence in his work.
