Modest gifts - Norman Mailer

poems and drawings

KORTE INHOUD

An unexpected collection from Norman Mailer a book of his selected poems and more than one hundred of his drawings, most of them never before published. Modest Gifts is full of what the author calls casual pleasures witty, naughty, and surprisingly tender verse and art. Lust, seduction, betrayal, jealousy, and even the banality of cocktail party chatter are depicted with humor, affection, and, above all, honesty. Here is an aspect of Norman Mailer unknown to many: lighthearted, prankish, whimsical, and often gentle, playfully sketching the intimate urban world that surrounds us. Modest, funny, and true, each poem and drawing shows a new side of one of the greatest writers of our time."
