Up for sale is a very nice paperback book titled The Things An American Dream by Norman Mailer. This was on my sons summer reading list for High School. It is very gently used. There is some slight bending on the top corners and some shelf wear. I just purchased this book in July of this year. More pictures are available upon request.
I am asking $5.00 or a reasonable offer.
I will meet you at the Russell Ridge Kroger Starbucks off of Buford Drive in Lawrenceville (30043) if you would like to purchase this item. You must pay with cash.
In this wild battering ram of a novel, which was originally published to vast controversy in 1965, Norman Mailer creates a character who might be a fictional precursor of the philosopher-killer he would later profile in The Executioners Song! As Stephen Rojack, a decorated war hero and former congressman who murders his wife in a fashionable New York City high-rise, runs amok through the city in which he was once a privileged citizen, Mailer peels away the layers of our social norms to reveal a world of pure appetite and relentless cruelty. One part Nietzsche, one part Sade, and one part Charlie Parker, An American Dream grabs the reader by the throat and refuses to let go.
