Harlot's Ghost

Encyclopedia : H : HA : HAR : Harlot's Ghost

---

Harlot's Ghost, a 1300 page chronicle of the CIA, was published in 1991. Norman Mailer considers it one of his best novels. The characters comprise a mixture of real people and fictional characters, the logic of this mix is explained in Mailer's postscript to the novel. Atmospheric and troubling, Harlot's Ghost exemplifies Mailer's skills as both a novelist & a chronicler. Although it should not be read as a factual account of the CIA's activities, it evokes the mood and methods of this organisation and the men who created it.
