The Castle in the Forest
Mailer's last completed novel: the boyhood of Adolf Hitler, narrated by Dieter, a minion of the Devil. Dedicated to his grandchildren. The book — and Mailer's claim that the Devil attended Hitler's conception as God attended Jesus's — drew an enormous press response (see 07.1–07.30).
