More about the book

The young writer Mike Lovett rents a room in a boarding house in Brooklyn to write a novel. He knows little about his past since he lost his memory due to a severe war injury. His roommates seem to hide their own secrets... Mailer's second novel reflects one of the major themes of the post-war period: the competition of political systems and the development of capitalism and communism. His path to becoming a brilliant chronicler, who engages with America's political crises and cultural myths over decades, is already laid out here.
