Sobre este artículo
New York, NY: Dial, 1965. Book. Very Good. Cloth. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. New York, NY, Dial Press, 1965. First edition, advance review copy with publicity photograph of Mailer and advance review note laid in. 8vo. Blue cloth with silver lettering embossed on spine and front board, gray endpapers, rough cut pages, 270 pp. The milieu of "An American Dream" is New York City; the nighttime of plush East Side duplex apartments, of police precinct stations, of after-hours clubs, of Lower East side tenements. Onto this environment Mailer impresses his singular imagination, creating a classic world of action and horror that takes on the dimensions of an American myth. Dust jacket has slight shelf wear, bindings are slightly sunned at extremities, writing on rear endpaper, text block tight, clean and appears gently read. Very good in a very good dust jacket, protected by a mylar cover..
Sinopsis
An American Dream is Norman Mailer's fourth novel, published by Dial Press. Mailer wrote it in serialized form for Esquire, consciously attempting to resurrect the methodology used by Charles Dickens and other earlier novelists, with Mailer writing each chapter against monthly deadlines. The book is written in a poetic style heavy with metaphor that creates unique and hypnotizing narrative and dialogue.
