Query: Almost Literature

This is near literature -- a spectacular piece of thinking man's commercial fiction obscured by the reputation of the author, Do I sound like a PBS commentator? Sorry if I do. A great book -- as the British say, a great ripping yarn -- classically structured, always entertaining and thought provoking. You wanna know about early Las Vegas? Here it is. You wanna know the heart of a frustrated by confident writer/artist? Here it is. You wanna deal with the best fictional characterization of Norman Mailer every written, here it is. You will be very surprised by the quality of this book, not to mention the author's adherence to classical structure in creating the story and characters. Ah, If I could accomplish what Merlin did....in this book....
