Titel: Deer Park
Auteur: Norman Mailer
ISBN: 9780812986150
Conditie: Goed

Amid the cactus wilds some two hundred miles from Hollywood lies a privileged oasis called Desert DOr. It is a place for starlets, directors, studio execs, and the well-groomed lowlifes who cater to them. And, as imagined by Norman Mailer in this blistering classic, Desert DOr is a moral proving ground, where men and women discover what they really wantand how far they are willing to go to get it. As Mailer traces their couplings and uncouplings, their uneasy flirtation with success and self-extinction, he creates a legendary portrait of Americas machinery of desire.
