The Deer Park

Amid The Cactus Wilds Some Two Hundred Miles From Hollywood Lies A Privileged Oasis Called Desert D'Or. It Is A Place For Starlets And Would-Be Starlets Directors Studio Execs And The Well-Groomed Lowlifes Who Cater To Them. And As Imagined By Norman Mailer In This Blistering Classic Of 1950S Hollywood Desert D'Or Is A Moral Proving Ground Where Men And Women Discover What They Really Want - And How Far They Are Willing To Go To Get It. As Mailer Traces Their Couplings And Uncouplings Their Uneasy Flirtation With Success And Self-Extinction He Creates A Legendary Portrait Of America'S Machinery Of Desire.
