Norman Mailer: A Castle in the Forest

[rich]

it sounds so off the wall i'll just have to read it

been listening to reissue of German Oak, a German stoner jam band who
recorded in early 70s underground--a couple of the songs have mixed bits of
Hitler's speeches
great stuff
not neo-nazi in any way

listening to hitler speak--can't think of anything closer to demonic
