Penguin Advertisements for Myself Мейлер Норман

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

21 октября 1967 года, Вашингтон, округ Колумбия. От 20 000 до 200 000 протестующих маршируют, чтобы положить конец войне во Вьетнаме, в то время как над головой парят вертолеты, а федеральные маршалы и солдаты с примкнутыми штыками ждут их на ступенях Пентагона. Среди участников марша - Норман Мейлер. Из его собственного исключительного участия в событиях дня и его еще более экстраординарного восприятия рождается классическая работа, которая разрушает рамки традиционного репортажа.

Mailer's superb account, written as it was happening, of the first attempt to land men on the moon • 'Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed.' • A Fire on the Moon tells the scarcely credible story of the Apollo 11 mission. It is suffused with Mailer's obsession both with the astronauts themselves and with his own anxieties and terrors about the extremity of what they were trying to achieve. Mailer is both admiring and appalled and the result is a book which is both a gripping narrative and a brilliant depiction of the now-forgotten technical issues and uncertainties around the mission. A Fire on the Moon is also a matchless portrait of an America caught in a morass of introspection and misery, torn apart by the war in Vietnam. But for one, extraordinary week in the summer of 1969 all eyes were on the fates of three men in a rocket, travelling a quarter of a million miles away from Earth
