Norman Mailer's 'The Deer Park'

THE DEER PARK delves into the maddening violent arena of life in Hollywood and its environs.  This strong book by Big Literary Guy Norman Mailer burst profoundly on to the madcap American literary scene in the mid-1950s,  I find Mailer's Deer Park people profoundly unique.  It is a joy to find one's self literally engulfed in the odd, sensual and sly world of the mind of Mr. Norman Mailer.  Just like the notorious bad gentleman Henry Miller of the 30s and 40s Mr. Mailer packs a gigantic wallop of a story into this vitriolic koo-koo cornucopia of devilish goings on in the semi-modern abruptness contained in the N. Mailer scenario tagged 'Deer Park.'  Norman Mailer swings like a radical solo of John Coltrane.  The man Mailer proves boiling hot literary excitement indeed.

Nice Writing

THE GOOD terse writing of Ernest Hemingway is a real joy.  He does not use too many adjectives.  His 'Torrents' is a fine tome.
