Hardback. Condizione: Good. The final work of fiction from Norman Mailer, a defining voice of the postwar era, is also one of his most ambitious, taking as its subject the evil of Adolf Hitler. The narrator, a mysterious SS man in possession of extraordinary secrets, follows Adolf from birth through adolescence and offers revealing portraits of Hitler's parents and siblings. A crucial reflection on the shadows that eclipsed the twentieth century, Mailer's novel delivers myriad twists and surprises along with characteristically astonishing insights into the struggle between good and evil that exists in us all.

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Norman Mailer fused fact and fiction to create indelible portraits of such figures as Marilyn Monroe, Gary Gilmore, and Lee Harvey Oswald. In The Gospel According to the Son, Mailer reimagines, as no other modern author has, the key character of Western history. Here is Jesus Christ's story in his own words: the discovery of his divinity and the painful, powerful journey to accepting and expressing it, "as if I were a man enclosing another man within." In its brevity and piercing simplicity, it may be Mailer's most accessible, direct, and heartfelt work.   Praise for The Gospel According to the Son   "Quietly penetrating . . . [Norman Mailer's] gospel is written in a direct, rather relaxed English that yet has an eerie, neo-Biblical dignity."--John Updike, The New Yorker   "A book of considerable intellectual force . . . The writer's powerful mind works in a specialized way, not by theological argumentation but by telling or retelling a story."--The New York Review of Books   "Challenges readers on the religious right and the atheist left with equally rich interpretive tasks."--The Dallas Morning News   "An informed and believable work of fiction . . . of what may have been going through the mind of Jesus during his epic ministry."--San Francisco Chronicle   Praise for Norman Mailer   "[Norman Mailer] loomed over American letters longer and larger than any other writer of his generation."--The New York Times   "A writer of the greatest and most reckless talent."--The New Yorker   "Mailer is indispensable, an American treasure."--The Washington Post   "A devastatingly alive and original creative mind."--Life   "Mailer is fierce, courageous, and reckless and nearly everything he writes has sections of headlong brilliance."--The New York Review of Books   "The largest mind and imagination [in modern] American literature . . .

His language carries you through the story like a leaf on a stream."--The Cincinnati Post.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. I see God, wrote Norman Mailer, as a Creator, as the greatest artist. I see human beings as His most developed artworks. In these moving, amusing, and probing dialogues conducted in the years before his death, Mailer establishes his own system of belief, rejecting both organized religion and atheism. He avows that sensual pleasures were bestowed on us by God; he finds fault with the Ten Commandments; and he holds that technology was the Devil's most brilliant creation. In short, Mailer is original and unpredictable in this inspiring journey, in which God needs us as much as we need God. Praise for On God Norman Mailer's] theology is not theoretical to him. After eight decades, it is what he believes. He expects no adherents, and does not profess to be a prophet, but he has worked to forge his beliefs into a coherent catechism.--New York The glory of an original mind in full provocation.--USA Today At once illuminating and exciting . . . a chance to see Mailer's intellect as well as his lively conversational style of speech.--American Jewish Life Remarkable . . .
