    About this ebook

    “Mornings with Mailer is a tender and affectionate view of the protean author at the end of the Big Novel that was his life. Dwayne Raymond’s book offers a uniquely intimate perspective on one of our literary giants. Applause.” — Tom Piazza, author of City of Refuge

    “In this moving memoir, Dwayne Raymond provides an intimate look at the daily routine of a great writer in the last years of his life.” — Doris Kearns Goodwin, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Team of Rivals

    Mornings with Mailer is the revealing memoir by Dwayne Raymond, the man who worked as Norman Mailer’s personal assistant during the last five years of the iconic author’s life. Recasting the legendary writer of such classics as The Naked and the Dead and The Executioner’s Song in a new light, Mornings with Mailer describes the powerful bond that formed between him and Raymond from April 2003 until Mailer’s death in November 2007.

      I didn't know much about Norman Mailer before reading this book, but Dwayne Raymond presents a story of his time with Mailer that creates a touching account of his time assisting Mailer. His memoir presents us with another view of not only Mailer, but his family, and what it's like working with a major author. We learn a lot about the writing process, including all the background processes that tend to go unnoticed. Above all, Raymond tells a story that is easy to read, told in his own voice, with care taken to present those he worked with in an honest, yet loving, light. His story about how two men bond over the course of four years is beautiful.
