Praise for Harlot's Ghost
[Norman Mailer is] the right man to exalt the history of the CIA into something better than history.--Anthony Burgess, The Washington Post Book World
Elegantly written and filled with almost electric tension . . . When I returned from the world of Harlot's Ghost to the present I wished to be enveloped again by Mailer's imagination.--Robert Wilson, USA Today
Immense, fascinating, and in large part brilliant.--Salman Rushdie, The Independent on Sunday
A towering creation . . . a fiction as real and as possible as actual history.--The New York Times
Praise for Norman Mailer
[Norman Mailer] loomed over American letters longer and larger than any other writer of his generation.--The New York Times
A writer of the greatest and most reckless talent.--The New Yorker
Mailer is indispensable, an American treasure.--The Washington Post
A devastatingly alive and original creative mind.--Life
Mailer is fierce, courageous, and reckless and nearly everything he writes has sections of headlong brilliance.--The New York Review of Books
The 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.--Chicago Tribune
Mailer is a master of his craft. His language carries you through the story like a leaf on a stream.--The Cincinnati Post
