An American Dream by Norman Mailer

An American Dream by Norman MailerAs 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 de Sade, and one part Charlie Parker, An American Dream grabs the reader by the throat and refuses to let go.
