I don't know; he makes enough fun of her that he might be able to slide in under parody...and the inevitable court case would be great publicity for the book!
I'm not sure it's inevitable. She might not even sue, or Eliezer could work out some sort of license agreement with her. Alternatively, he could change all the names and so forth.
But yes, I would think he would be likely to win such a case, both because it's a parody and because he's made transformative use of the work, turning it from fantasy into lessons about rationality.
Nitpick: It's still fantasy. It's a very different fantasy, though.
