Tough guys don't dance

The writer Madden is left by his wife and completely thrown off track. After a night of heavy drinking, he wakes up with a tattoo on his arm, his clothes and car covered in blood. When he also discovers a severed female head, his confusion is complete...

What at first glance looks like a thriller is much more. Mailer uses the crime plot as the starting point for an extraordinary father-son relationship and, in his characteristic powerful language, denounces the hypocritical bigotry of small-town American life. First-class literature that creates images from which the reader cannot escape.
