Summary
A young writer, suffering from amnesia as the result of a war wound, takes up residence in an unusual Brooklyn rooming house in which every occupant hides a secret. Reprint. 12,500 first printing.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Mike Lovett rents a room in a Brooklyn boarding house with the intention of writing a novel. Wounded during World War II, Lovett is an amnesiac, and much of his past is a secret to himself. But Lovett's housemates have secrets of their own. As these mysterious figures vie for Lovett's allegiance, Barbary Shore plays havoc with our certainties, combining Kafkaesque unease with Orwellian paranoia and delivering its effects with a power that Mailer has made all his own.
