I saw her give this same talk at the Harvard Book Store in Cambridge, across the street from Harvard itself, her husband's alma mater. She was very much as she appears in this video, but with a wonderful way of telling her stories and anecdotes -- how she met Mailer at a party and later how she inveigled him to buy her a fur coat against the New York winter. Unassuming, persuasive, and sweet -- with a twist of racy details. I bought her book (A Ticket to the Circus) and she signed it for me.
