Marilyn

“There were times when I’d be with one of my husbands and I’d run into one of these Hollywood heels at a party and they’d paw me cheaply in front of everybody as if they were saying, ‘oh, we had her.’ I guess it’s the classic situation of an ex-whore, though I was never a whore in that sense. I was never kept; I always kept myself.”

-- Marilyn Monroe

Would you say that there was any secret or hidden pattern being worked out in your novels?

MAILER

I'd rather leave that to others ... I will say one thing, which is that I have some obsession with how God exists. Is He an essential god or an existential god; is He all-powerful or is He, too, an embattled existential creature who may succeed or fail in His vision? I think this theme may become more apparent as the novels go on.

-- Norman Mailer at The Paris Review
