This novel is about Texas and Mailer's hero, named D.J., an 18-year-old genius. He and his dad go hunting in Alaska and long for that Grizzer. In the behavior of a few hunters from Texas a reader may sense why America goes to war, or least why the State of Texas is America's own America? Extraordinary writing. A memorable novel by Mailer.
