Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: The final work of fiction from Norman Mailer, a defining voice of the postwar era, is also one of his most ambitious, taking as its subject the evil of Adolf Hitler. The narrator, a mysterious SS man in possession of extraordinary secrets, follows Adolf from birth through adolescence and offers revealing portraits of Hitlerâs parents and siblings. A crucial reflection on the shadows that eclipsed the twentieth century, Mailerâs novel delivers myriad twists and surprises along with characteristically astonishing insights into the struggle between good and evil that exists in us all.

Praise for The Castle in the Forest
Â
âThis remarkable novel about the young Adolf Hitler, his family and their shifting circumstances, is Mailerâs most perfect apprehension of the absolutely alien. . . . Mailer doesnât inhabit these historical figures so much as possess them.ââThe New York Times Book Review
Â
âTerrifically creepy . . . an icy and convincing portrait of the dictator as a young sociopath.ââEntertainment Weekly
Â
âThe work of a bold and confident writer who may yet be seen as the preeminent novelist of our time . . . a source of tremendous narrative pleasure . . . Every character . . . lives and breathes.ââSouth Florida Sun-Sentinel
Â
âBlackly hilarious, beautifully written . . . [The Castle in the Forest] has vigor, excitement, humor and vastness of spirit.ââThe New York Observer
Â
Praise for Norman Mailer
Â
â[Norman Mailer] loomed over American letters longer and larger than any other writer of his generation.ââThe New York Times
Â
âA writer of the greatest and most reckless talent.ââThe New Yorker
Â
âMailer is indispensable, an American treasure.ââThe Washington Post
Â
âA devastatingly alive and original creative mind.ââLife
Â
âMailer is fierce, courageous, and reckless and nearly everything he writes has sections of headlong brilliance.ââThe New York Review of Books
Â
âThe largest mind and imagination [in modern] American literature . . . Unlike just about every American writer since Henry James, Mailer has managed to grow and become richer in wisdom with each new book.ââChicago Tribune
Â
âMailer is a master of his craft. His language carries you through the story like a leaf on a stream.ââThe Cincinnati Post
