In the spring of 2003 when Norman Mailer was 80 years old, he
invited an improbable companion into his life: Dwayne Raymond, 40
years his junior, originally from a small town in Oregon, and now a
waiter at a restaurant in Provincetown, Cape Cod, where Mailer
spent most of his final years. Over the next half-decade, Raymond
became Mailer's aide in all matters professional and private.
Raymond assisted him with four books he published during this time,
including his final novel "The Castle in the Forest". The two spent
many hours together each day talking, cooking, and researching new
projects. As Raymond's responsibilities grew, so too did his
friendship with Mailer, who taught him how to navigate his own
personal challenges. In this poignant memoir, Dwayne Raymond
presents an alternative portrayal of a writer who is frequently
described as controversial, combative, and verbose; the Norman
Mailer he depicts is a comparatively temperate, comprehensive man
whose quirky, human qualities far outweigh the disquieting legend.
Beautifully written and honestly portrayed, "Mornings with Mailer"
is a personal and revealing story of a great writer, his
Man-Friday, and their unlikely, but enduring, relationship.
