A new book by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Norman Mailer — his first novel in 10 years — will be released in January, his publisher announced Friday.
The title of the new book is “The Castle in the Forest,” Random House said in a statement. It said a synopsis was not available.
Mailer’s last novel, “The Gospel According to the Son,” told the gospel story from Christ’s point of view.
In 2003, he wrote two nonfiction books: “The Spooky Art: Some Thoughts on Writing” and “Why Are We At War?”
Mailer won the Pulitzer for “The Executioner’s Song” (1979), a “true life novel” that chronicled the life and death of Utah murderer Gary Gilmore. “Armies of the Night” (1968), a nonfiction book on the anti-Vietnam War march on the Pentagon, won both the Pulitzer and the National Book Award.
