Harlot's Ghost: A Novel
Norman Mailer
Random House Trade Paperbacks
, 1992
Paradox is central to the story, to the CIA--read it and connect the dots on 9/11
This post-modern novel by Mailer is inarguably the most informed novel of the CIA. This is not callow, veneered, cinema-informed CIA, or any of the "tell-all" non-fiction embellishments of CIA activity. This is a psychological study of the necessary duality of ...
The Castle in the Forest: A Novel
Norman Mailer
Random House Trade Paperbacks
, 2007
His last book was a great one
I found The Castle in the Forest to be at best interesting and at worst very entertaining. The fact that Mailer does not create a single pivotal event in young Adolf's life, one turning point that steers him on the path of "evil", makes the book all the more realistic ...
Unholy Alliance: A History of the Nazi Involvement With the Occult
Peter Levenda
Continuum International Publishing Group
, 2002
Excellent research!
Although I could go on and on, like the other reviewers, I'll try to keep this short. Peter Levenda did extensive research for this book, and its obvious looking at the bibliography. There was a lot going on in the world before and during WWII, and this book really ...
The Armies of the Night: History as a Novel, the Novel as History
Norman Mailer
Plume
, 1995
Great style, but is it really a novel in any sense?
I'm not going to try to answer my own question. I will say that this is an interesting look at the 67 march from Mailer's perspective. The section on the development of the march itself and the organizers was very informative, as was the section entitled "Why are we in ...

Kennedy's assassination, is the long-awaited follow-up to Fusco's acclaimed RFK Funeral Train , a body of work heralded as a contemporary classic.

Nobody Knows My Name
James Baldwin
Vintage
, 1992
Nobody Knows My Name Is Timeless
For my humanities class I was instructed to read an autobiography of my choice. Through shuffling through the library for an autobiography that I can actually read and appreciate I stumbled across this great James Baldwin title. Nobody Knows My Name is a collection of ...
An American Dream
Norman Mailer
Vintage
, 1999
I 've listened about 12 times in the car
I never get tired of this book by Norman Mailer as read by MacDonald Carey. He has a great voice and a great acting style that make you see the book in your head like a movie! I am not kidding, sometimes I forget it was a book and think I saw this movie! I protect ...
Miami and the Siege of Chicago (New York Review Books Classics)
Norman Mailer
NYRB Classics
, 2008
VINTAGE MAILER
What is striking about 1968 in that political sense is that Daley of Chicago, a Democrat, is the recipient of more wrath from liberal writers than Richard Nixon. You remember him: The guy who went on to win it all that year, expanded the war, and broke a myriad of laws ...
The Executioner's Song
Norman Mailer
Vintage
, 1998
"It's not the sentiments of men which make history but their actions" - Mailer
It just starts - no throat-clearing, no overture, no vamping-until-ready. Coming from a writer who had made his reputation slamming doors and banging about the house, leaving the television on in one sentence while simultaneously yelling abuse at the radio and bashing ...
The Naked and the Dead: 50th Anniversary Edition
Norman Mailer
Picador
, 2000
Helprin meets Hemingway, But Better [51][80]
At 25, Mailer's insightful yarn about a World War II battleground shows how precocious and mature his writing skills were at that young age. After having personally lived two years in that same war, maybe Mailer - like many of the characters in the book - arrived as a ...
The Big Empty: Dialogues on Politics, Sex, God, Boxing, Morality, Myth, Poker and Bad Conscience in America
Norman Mailer,
John Buffalo Mailer
Nation Books
, 2006
Twisted, Funky, Funny, Brilliant...
Mailer always manages to twist in a corkscrew of unexpected words and pop the BS cork off of a rich wine of pungent insight. Lots of fun.
The Spooky Art: Thoughts on Writing
Norman Mailer
Random House Trade Paperbacks
, 2004
The horse's mouth
It has been many years since I have read Norman Mailer. He made a sensational literary debut with the publication of his World War II novel, The Naked and the Dead in 1948. Since then he has been among the most celebrated writers, and by his own estimation one of ...
Oswald's Tale: An American Mystery
Norman Mailer
Random House Trade Paperbacks
, 1996
Oswald's War Against All
Long as it was I regretted reaching the end of this book. Oswald's Tale purports to be a work of fiction. In fact, it impossible not to appreciate the wealth of research and analysis that informs the pages of this dense text. It becomes increasingly clear that ...
Ancient Evenings
Norman Mailer
Little Brown
, 1983
A Wonderful Reading Experience
I read this book when it was first published over 20 years ago. Not an easy read, not many of Mailer's books are, but thought provoking and interesting in the extreme. It was news of Norman Mailer's death that made me reach to the top of the bookcase and re-read my ...
Advertisements for Myself
Norman Mailer
Harvard University Press
, 2005
I read it ten times in the 1960s. Tenth time was best!
This book is filled with fiction, essays, and, literally, advertisements for Mailer. The ad he took out for "The Deer Park" is the classic of classics. There is a great work in here called "The Time of Her Time." Sergius O'Shaugnessey is the hero, and I got the ...
