內容簡介
MARVELOUS . . . BREATHTAKING.--The New York Times Book Review"MAILER SHINES . . . Explaining Kennedy's assassination throughthe flaws in Oswald's character has been attempted before, notablyby Gerald Posner in Case Closed and Don Delillo in Libra. Butneither handled Oswald with the kind of dexterity and literaryimagination that Mailer here supplies in great force. . . .Oswald's Tale weaves a story not only about Oswald or Kennedy'sdeath but about the culture surrounding the assassination, one thatremains replete with miscomprehensions, unraveled threads and lackof resolution: All of which makes Oswald's Tale more true-to-lifethan any fact-driven treatise could hope to be. . . . VintageMailer."--The Philadelphia Inquirer"FASCINATING . . . A MASTER STORYTELLER . . . Mailer gives us ourclearest, deepest view of Oswald yet. . . . Inside three pages youare utterly absorbed."--Detroit Free Press"MAILER AT HIS BEST . . . LIVELY AND CONVINCING . . .EXTREMELYLUCID . . . Mailer is fierce, courageous, and reckless and nearlyeverything he writes has sections of headlong brilliance. . . .[He] has found a way to make the dry bones of KGB tapes and his owninterviews stand up and perform. . . . From the American masterconjurer of dark and swirling purpose, a moving reflection."--Robert StoneThe New York Review of Books"THIS IS A NARRATIVE OF TREMENDOUS ENERGY AND PANACHE; THE AUTHORAT THE TOP OF HIS FORM."--Christopher HitchensFinancial Times"Mailer has written some pretty crazy books in his time, but thisisn't one of them. Like its predecessor, Harlot's Ghost, it is theperformance of an author relishing the force and reach of his ownacuity."--Martin AmisThe London Sunday Times.
