London
(ANI):
Norman
Mailer,
the
late
novelist,
journalist
and
playwright,
was
also
a
formidable
lover,
a
former
mistress
has
claimed
in
accounts
of
their
sexual
encounters,
one
of
which
stretches
to
50
pages.
Carole
Mallory,
a
former
actress
and
supermodel
who
had
an
affair
with
the
six-times
married
writer
for
10
years,
saved
seven
boxes
of
material
she
said
she
collected
during
Mailer's
weekly
visits
between
1983
to
1992,
while
he
was
married
to
his
sixth
and
last
wife.
Mallory
recently
sold
the
steamy
sex
memoirs
of
Pulitzer-winning
author
to
Harvard
University
for
an
undisclosed
amount.
The
material
includes
lengthy
accounts
of
their
sex
life
and
writing
lessons
Mailer
gave
her.
The
documents
also
include
two
sex
scenes
based
on
their
love
life.
One,
written
as
part
of
an
unpublished
novel
called
"When
I
fall
in
love",
was
composed
as
a
bet
with
Mailer
that
she
could
stretch
an
account
of
their
lovemaking
to
50
pages
long.
The
other,
"Making
Love
with
Norman",
stretches
to
a
more
modest
20
pages.
"There's
a
long
scene
in
that
which
is
based
on
our
sex
life," the
Telegraph
quoted
Mallory,
now
66,
as
saying.
"Norman
dared
me
to
write
a
50-page
sex
scene,
and
he
lost
the
bet.
It"s
very
steamy.
Norman
was
a
real
man
and
he
knew
what
he
was
doing,"
she
added.
Like
Mailer,
who
died
last
year
and
was
19
years
her
senior,
Mallory,
a
recovering
alcoholic,
has
led
an
eventful
life.
She
dated
Warren
Beatty,
Peter
Sellers,
Richard
Gere
and
Rod
Stewart
and
was
once
engaged
to
Claude
Picasso,
the
son
of
the
Spanish
painter.
