In an interview, Mailer was asked if he drank a lot (he was drunk when he stabbed her). Mailer went on to say the only time he ever drank heavily was when a marriage was breaking up.{{sfn|Legs|2020|pg:50}} When asked why Mailer stabbed his second wife, Adele Morales, Mailer opts out of talking about it saying that he'd maybe write about it later. He was then asked if he hated women to which he responds that he doesn't hate them, however, he did get irritated with them differently than he did with men.{{sfn|Legs|2020|pg:52}} | In an interview, Mailer was asked if he drank a lot (he was drunk when he stabbed her).

In her 1997 memoir titled "The last party", Adele Morales gave a written recollection of the stabbing. She recalled seeing Norman punching people in the street during the night of the stabbing. He apparently was in a delirious state where he couldn't "remember who he was, or what his name was." She vividly remembered Norman Mailer bursting into her apartment, also recalling that she couldn't see the knife in his hand while he was rushing towards her. Morales noted that Mailer had a jarring indifference while she laid on the floor bleeding. {{sfn| | In her 1997 memoir titled "The last party", Adele Morales gave a written recollection of the stabbing.
