"MARVELOUS...BREATHTAKING."--NY Times Book Review "MAILER SHINES...Explaining Kennedy's assassination thru the flaws in Oswald's character has been attempted before, notably by Gerald Posner in Case Closed & Don Delillo in Libra. But neither handled Oswald with the kind of dexterity & literary imagination that Mailer here supplies in great force....Oswald's Tale weaves a story not only about Oswald or Kennedy's death but about the culture surrounding the assassination, one that remains replete with miscomprehensions, unraveled threads & lack of resolution: All of which makes Oswald's Tale more true-to-life than any fact-driven treatise could hope to be....Vintage Mailer."--Philadelphia Inquirer "FASCINATING...A MASTER STORYTELLER...Mailer gives us our clearest, deepest view of Oswald yet....Inside three pages you are utterly absorbed."--Detroit Free Press "MAILER AT HIS BEST...LIVELY & CONVINCING...EXTREMELY LUCID...Mailer is fierce, courageous, & reckless & nearly everything he writes has sections of headlong brilliance.... [He] has found a way to make the dry bones of KGB tapes & his own interviews stand up and perform....From the American master conjurer of dark & swirling purpose, a moving reflection."--Robert Stone, NY Review of Books "THIS IS A NARRATIVE OF TREMENDOUS ENERGY & PANACHE; THE AUTHOR AT THE TOP OF HIS FORM."--Christopher Hitchens, Financial Times "Mailer has written some pretty crazy books in his time, but this isn't one of them. Like its predecessor, Harlot's Ghost, it is the performance of an author relishing the force & reach of his own acuity."--Martin Amis, London Sunday Times
