American Dream - Softcover

‘Mailer writes like an angel – a master of small surprises that are precursors of seismic shocks.’
London Review of Books

"Mark Twain might have been more popular than Norman Mailer, and Hemingway more influential, but neither of these writers ever had so many thousands of people at their feet – and at their throats."
NEW YORK TIMES

'I was irritable suddenly, a sign of fatigue, the only sign of fatigue I could feel: my adrenaline had lit a new fire for the new drink. Sometime in the next hour of the next day would come a moment when I could lie down, when I would sleep – when I would try to – and then the memories of this night gone through would rise like the mutilated corpses of a battlefield, stare back at the battered face of Deborah which rose from each corpse.'
