Mailer, Norman

Mailer, Norman
(р. 1923) Мейлер, Норман
Прозаик, эссеист. Популярность пришла к нему с публикацией романа о войне "Нагие и мертвые" ["The Naked and the Dead"] (1948). Неприятие антикоммунистической истерии времен маккартизма и призыв к "экзистенциальному высвобождению" личности из сковывающих пут общества, подавляющего свободу, отразились в романах "Берег варваров" ["Barbary Shore"] (1951), "Олений парк" ["Deer Park"] (1955) и особенно в романе "Американская мечта" ["An American Dream"] (1965), вызвавшем широкий резонанс. Интерес писателя к современной истории и политике своей страны привел его к созданию ряда документальных книг и сборников эссе: "Самореклама" ["Advertisments for Myself"] (1959), "Армии в ночи" ["The Armies of the Night"] (1968) - Пулитцеровская премия [Pulitzer Prize] и Национальная книжная премия [National Book Award], "Майами и осада Чикаго" ["Miami and the Siege of Chicago"] (1968) и др. Среди тем документальной прозы Мейлера: полет на Луну, профессиональный бокс, смертная казнь, феминистское движение; он также автор биографии М. Монро [Monroe, Marilyn]
