Norris Church Mailer discusses her memoir, "A Ticket to the Circus," presented by Harvard Book Store. Growing up a strict Free Will Baptist in the south of the 1950s, Norris Church always wanted more than the comforts of small town life. But she could never have guessed that in her early 20's she would date future president Bill Clinton, or that the following year she would meet and wed Norman Mailer; their marriage lasted 33 years and was a centerpiece of New York literary and social life.
