Exactly how steamy is this story?
NC-17
An American Dream is a pretty nasty book. Its nastiness includes: tons of violence, tons of sexuality, and a few instances where the two are blended into an unpleasant cocktail. While there's certainly method to Mailer's madness, you'll need a certain level of maturity to reach past the disturbing details and grab the meaning hidden behind. Consider yourself warned, for sure.
