Hardback. Zustand: 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.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. Fourth Printing [stated]. [10], 477, [9] pages. Bibliography. Signed by the author on the title page of his last novel! Norman Kingsley Mailer (January 31, 1923 - November 10, 2007) was an American novelist, journalist, essayist, playwright, film-maker and actor. In a career spanning over six decades, Mailer had 11 best-selling books, at least one in each of the seven decades after World War II-more than any other post-war American writer. His novel The Naked and the Dead was published in 1948 and brought him early and wide renown. His 1968 nonfiction novel Armies of the Night won the Pulitzer Prize for non-fiction as well as the National Book Award. His best-known work is widely considered to be The Executioner's Song, the 1979 winner of the Pulitzer Prize for fiction. Mailer is considered an innovator of "creative non-fiction" along with Truman Capote, Joan Didion, Hunter S. Thompson, and Tom Wolfe, a genre which uses the style and devices of literary fiction in fact-based journalism. He was a cultural commentator and critic. In 1955, he and three others founded The Village Voice, an arts- and politics-oriented weekly newspaper distributed in Greenwich Village. His final novel, The Castle in the Forest, which focused on Hitler's childhood, reached number five on the Times best-seller list after publication in January 2007. It received reviews that were more positive than any of his books since The Executioner's Song. The Castle in the Forest received a laudatory 6,200-word front-page review by Lee Siegel in the New York Times Book Review, as well as a Fiction Award by the Literary Review magazine. Derived from a Kirkus review: A novel as odd as it is thematically ambitious reveals the source of Adolf Hitler's evil. The irrepressible Mailer here gives the darker spiritual forces their due. Narrated by a former German SS officer who ultimately reveals a number of surprising secrets-about both himself and the Hitler family-the plot encompasses the incest leading to Adolf's conception and the first 13 years of his life. With a conversational tone that is never ponderous yet not quite comic, the narrator illuminates intimate details of Adolf's parents' sexual life, as well as their baby's breast-feeding and bowel movements. It probes the sibling rivalries that result in the death of one brother (perhaps with Adolf's complicity) and the departure of another, a wilder boy than young Adolf. It finds psychological significance in the ways that the Hitler parents relate to each child as well as to each other. The novel also has a penchant for nicknames: "Adi" for Adolf, "Nicky" for Tsar Nicholas II and "Heini" for Himmler. Despite an exhaustive bibliography that indicates historical research, the narrator never claims that he is writing the secret history or the true story of the young Adolf Hitler. Instead, he maintains throughout that this work is a novel, which may be truer than the history that the narrator dismisses as "a pack of lies." It turns out that the devil is in all sorts of details, from art to dreams to computer technology. Yet the question persist: Why does the narrative stop in the early teens of the future Führer? [Note: This was intended to be the first volume of a trilogy but Mailer died before the other volumes could be completed.]. …
