I was reading the transcript of an interview Stephen King did with NPR in 2011, and was struck by his incredible ignorance of the assassination. He declared, at one point, that Oswald slept with his mother until he was 11 and had to get naked in front of her until the age of 13, so she could check if he was getting "manly." I think I've heard the sleeping together stuff, but not sure where. The other bizarre claim is new to me. Anyone have a possible source for this?
King did mention Thomas Mallon's putrid novel Mrs. Paine's Garage, as well as Norman Mailer's awful novel about Oswald. Maybe this is in one of those fictional books, and he is just accepting it as fact.
