Description

Since the publication of his first novel The Naked and the Dead in 1949, Norman Mailer has remained one of America's most innovative and controversial writers. This comprehensive study includes new evaluations of Mailer's fiction of the 1960s, together with his most recent work. The book offers a lucid and thorough appraisal of the work of a writer of whom it was once said, 'so goes Mailer, so goes America'.
