In 'Oswald's Tale: An American Mystery', Mailer reconstructs the life of this ambitious if doom-laden young man,giving a full account for the first time not only
of the Minsk years,a hitherto uncharted period in Oswald's life,but also of Oswald's disastrous childhood,his years in
the Marine Corps,and the events leading
from his return to the United States in 1961 to his death in Dallas in 1963.The portrait of Oswald that emerges will greatly surprise readers who have thought of Oswald as a hapless loner; socially awkward,inarticulate,and an unremarkable loser.A non-fiction masterpiece,a work of meticulous research and reportage,but the reporter in this case is America's most distinguished novelist,who comes to the task not only with a sober respect for the
facts,but with a novelist's power to bring
these facts to vibrant life.
