This book is a comprehensive study of the work of the American author Norman Mailer, charting his response to critical events in his country¿s development since 1945. Focusing on Mailer¿s descriptions of World War II, 1960s counter-culture, the Vietnam War, the Apollo 11 mission and the execution of Gary Gilmore in Utah in 1977, the book analyses the native vernaculars in ten of his most critically acclaimed works. Moving beyond politically orientated scholarship, the author outlines Mailer¿s New York, American GI, Mid-West and Southern styles, contextualising his prose against earlier American authors, including Henry Adams, Ernest Hemingway and John Dos Passos, and positioning his writing alongside contemporary notables such as Joan Didion, William Burroughs and Truman Capote. Incorporating over forty years of scholarship in the form of articles, reviews and interviews, this book pinpoints the American attributes in Mailer¿s writing with a view to identifying trends in post-war American literary movements, the Beat Generation, New Journalism and Pop Art among others.

Skøn Agatha Christie-inspireret krimi til fans af cozy crime.. HUN LEVEDE AF AT SKRIVE OM MORD. NU MÅ HUN SELV SLÅ IHJEL! I 1920’ernes London er Archie og Agatha Christie ikke et hvilket som helst nyrigt middelklassepar. Som forfatter til seks populære detektivromaner har Agatha allerede etableret sig som én af Englands skarpeste krimihjerner, og overskuddet fra hendes bøger har sikret dem en forgyldt tilværelse i det celebre London. Men bag facaden lurer pengeproblemer, fortvivlelse og utroskab. Da en mystisk fremmed pludselig dukker op og truer Agatha med at ødelægge familiens gode ry, bliver hun tvunget til at bruge sit talent i en virkelig forbrydelse: Hun må planlægge mordet på en uskyldig kvinde. Med Talent for mord fremmaner Wilson den verden af butlere og stuepiger, trofaste og uduelige betjente, excentriske overklasseløg og five o-clock tea, som vi kender og elsker fra Christies egne krimier, og med sin kombination af vid og djævelske plot-twists vil bogen med garanti begejstre alle anglofile krimilæsere. I vinteren 1926 forsvandt virkelighedens Agatha Christie pludselig i ti dage. Hun talte aldrig om, hvor hun var, og som resultat er hendes forsvinden forblevet et af de store mysterier i moderne tid. I denne superbt researchede detektivroman sammenflettes virkelige hændelser og sort opspind i en klassisk, britisk mordgåde: Hvad skete der egentlig i løbet af de dage? Gads Forlag udgiver bogen samtidig med den britiske udgave.
