On the Brink of Barbarism

Young writer Mike Lovett rents a room in a boarding house in Brooklyn to write a novel. He knows little about his past, having lost his memory due to a severe war injury. And his housemates seem to be hiding secrets of their own... Mailer's second novel reflects one of the great themes of the post-war period: the competition of political systems and the development of capitalism and communism. His path to becoming the brilliant chronicler who for decades engaged with America's political crises and cultural myths is already laid out here.
