Mailer, Norman Harlot's Ghost: A Novel
Random House Trade Paperback September 1, 19 0-345-37965-9 / 9780345379658 Paperback Very Good
To call Mailer's CIA novel a spy story would be like calling Moby Dick a wh aling story. If you are seeking myriad details about how The Agency really operates, you will find them here, but Mailer has always sought the nuances that give facts their essential meaning, and that is what makes this book so much more than just another CIA expose. For Mailer's true purpose is to define that part of the American psyche that has spawned and sustains the C IA. It is a spirit (and note that this is a book more metaphysical than pol itical) born of militant Christianity and buccaneering rapacity, of nobless e oblige and authoritarian devotion, a spirit believing itself turned in to God without worrying if it's heeding the devil. The dialectic here is Mani cheanism more than Marxism, and--shades of Melville--the quest is one in wh ich we may forfeit our souls. An immensely long but never laborious book, o ne where Mailer works compelling variations on his quintessential themes.

Mailer, Norman The Gospel According to the Son
Ballantine Books September 7, 19 0-345-43408-0 / 9780345434081 Paperback Fine
In the two millennia since Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John wrote their separa te biographies of Jesus, only a handful of other authors have attempted ren ditions--Charles Dickens, Leo Tolstoy, and D. H. Lawrence have tried their hands at it; scholars E. P. Sanders and Raymond Brown have produced academi c treatises on the historical Jesus. Perhaps the best-known fictional accou nt of the life of Jesus is Nikos Kazantzakis's The Last Temptation of Chris t, which explores the Son of Man's all-too-human side. Norman Mailer joins these ranks with The Gospel According to the Son.

Mailer, Norman The Time of Our Time
Random House May 5, 1998 0-375-50097-9 / 9780375500978 1st Edition Hardcover VF/VF
A highly collectible first edition/printing,(signed by the author) tight cl ean copy, protected in a new brodart wrapper, no inscriptions, unclipped du stjacket, this is not an Ex-Lib or a BCE/BOMC edition. Compiling an anthology of one's own work can be a tricky business. Norman Mailer, of course, first committed this act of literary cannibalism back in 1959, when he assembled a brilliant collage of stories, journalism, essays, and poetry, Advertisements for Myself . Now, 50 years after the publication of his first novel, Gore Vidal's favorite sparring partner has put together another, more massive anthology, advertising not only himself but what we might call (paraphrasing Frost) his lover's quarrel with American life. "Over the course of years," Mailer writes in his foreword, "most of us compose in the privacy of our minds a social and cultural history of the years through which we have passed." True enough. But Mailer's history of the American Imperium has always been public--extremely public--and in The Time of Our Time he attempts to get it all into a single book.

Mailer, Norman Why Are We at War?
Random House Trade Paperback April 8, 2003 0-8129-7111-6 / 9780812971118 Paperback Very Good+
"Because democracy is noble, it is always endangered. Nobility, indeed, is always in danger. Democracy is perishable. I think the natural government f or most people, given the uglier depths of human nature, is fascism. Fascis m is more of a natural state than democracy. To assume blithely that we can export democracy into any country we choose can serve paradoxically to enc ourage more fascism at home and abroad."--from Why Are We at War? Why Are We at War? is an explosive argument about George W. Bush and his qu est for empire. Norman Mailer, one of the greatest authors of our time, lay s bare the White House's position on why war in Iraq is necessary and justi fied. By scrutinizing the administration's words and actions leading up to the current crisis, Mailer carefully builds his case that Bush is pursuing war not in the name of security or anti-terrorism or human rights but in an undeclared yet fully realized ambition of global empire. Mailer unleashes his trademark moral rigor on an administration he believes is recklessly endangering our very notion of freedom and democracy. For more than fifty years, in classic works of both fiction and nonfiction, Mailer has persistently exposed the folly of the powerful and the mighty. Beginning with his debut masterpiece, The Naked and the Dead, Mailer has repeatedly told the truth about war and why men fight. Why Are We at War? returns Mailer to the subject he knows better than any other writer in America today: the gravity of the battlefield and the grand hubris of the politicians who send soldiers there to die.
