Summary

Amid the cactus wilds some two hudred 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.

Note

An earlier and greatly different version of The deer park scheduled to be published Feb. 14, 1955 by Rinehart was never published--cf. Mailer. Advertisements for myself.
