Deer Park a Play

Deer Park a Play1955

Norman Mailer

About this book

"The deer park is set in the town of Desert D'Or, a man-made oasis of bars, neon signs, motels, and gambling clubs located in the desert just over the mountains from California. To Desert D'Or come the Hollywood contingents of aspiring movie stars, black-listed writers, call girls, pimps, and paternalistic studio officials -- all to enact in the strenuousness of their leisure-taking, the fevered dreams, sexual conflicts, and sputtering hopes of a rich, but lost, society."--Jacket.
