Seller's Description:
Like New. Size: 7x5x0; Hardcover. No dust jacket, as issued. Good binding and cover. Minor shelf wear. Clean, unmarked pages. "The bewildering profusion of novels and non-fiction works that Norman Mailer published in his last twenty-five years, on subjects ranging from ancient Egypt to Adolf Hitler, has been comparatively neglected-and sometimes too easily dismissed-by Mailer's critics. Whatever the failures among them, these books demand and deserve closer attention. This well-edited collection of essays should provide both a needed corrective and a very useful road map to this protean body of work."-Morris Dickstein, author of Gates of Eden and Dancing in the Dark.
