"Aren't you happy for me, Rennie?" she asked after sharing more details once Brodeur had woken up enough to comprehend what was going on. "Ben Souther kissed me." Malabar woke her daughter up in the middle of a July night in 1980 to tell her this - that a man, her husband's best friend, had kissed her. Malabar was married to Hornblower - whom the memoir calls Charles Greenwood, as Brodeur changed all the names except for her own and those of her parents' - when the event that kicks off Wild Game occurred. Still, it's fitting that other than her daughter's new book, Malabar's online footprint points first to a marriage, and to that one in particular. I'm being a tad disingenuous, I confess: What came up before anything else was Wild Game: My Mother, Her Lover, and Me, a new memoir by Adrienne Brodeur and the reason I was looking Malabar up in the first place. Of course, I realized, her columns appeared under her married name, Hornblower, although even then I had to dig into the paper's archives in order to find her luscious pieces about inns in France, trout in Tasmania, sailing the coast of Turkey, and more. The bride, a staff writer for Time‐Life Books, and her husband, a vice president of Hornblower & Weeks‐Hemhill, Noyes, Inc., investment bankers, both have been married previously and divorced." Malabar Schleiter Brodeur of New York and Henry Hornblower 2d of Boston were married here this afternoon.
