Američki san

Name: Američki san
Availability: InStock

Norman Mailer

Priča prati Stephena Rojacka, ratnog heroja, profesora i televizijskog voditelja, čiji se život raspada tijekom 48 sati. Američki san je snažan, uznemirujući portret čovjeka i nacije u sukobu sa samima sobom.

U pijanom bijesu Rojack ubija svoju bogatu, ali nasilnu suprugu Deborah, gušeći je u njihovu stanu u Manhattanu, a zatim inscenira njezinu smrt kao samoubojstvo bacivši tijelo s balkona. Umjesto predaje, upušta se u mračnu odiseju kroz njujoršku podzemnu scenu, susrećući pjevačicu Cherry, mafijaše, policiju i Deborahina moćnog oca.

Roman, pisan u prvom licu, miješa sirovi realizam s mitskim podtonovima, prikazujući Rojacka kao nesavršenog antiheroja koji se bori s krivnjom i sudbinom. Mailer istražuje teme muškosti, korupcije i ispraznosti američkog sna kroz Rojackov moralni pad. S oko 270 stranica, djelo kritizira američko društvo 1960-ih, izazivajući kontroverze zbog nihilizma i optužbi za mizoginiju, ali i pohvale zbog smjelog stila.
