内容简介
Mike Lovett rents a room in a Brooklyn boarding house with the
intention of writing a novel. Wounded during World War II, Lovett
is an amnesiac, and much of his past is a secret to himself. But
Lovett's housemates have secrets of their own. As these mysterious
figures vie for Lovett's allegiance, Barbary Shore plays
havoc with our certainties, combining Kafkaesque unease with
Orwellian paranoia and delivering its effects with a power that
Mailer has made all his own.
