Description

A Hall of Mirrors by Robert Stone is a vivid portrayal of America's dark side in the 1960s. After Mardi Gras, disc jockey Rheinhardt rolls into New Orleans searching for work and a fresh start. Instead, he finds himself entangled with a woman who has been physically and psychically damaged by her past, and a job that exposes him to a right-wing political movement. As the city erupts into chaos, Rheinhardt's survival skills are put to the test in a maelstrom of madness, destruction, and death. The novel is populated with a cast of characters including civil-rights activists, fanatic Christians, corrupt politicians, and demented Hollywood stars. Through its vivid depiction of this tumultuous period, A Hall of Mirrors offers a powerful exploration of post-Vietnam angst. Robert Stone's writing style is as varied as the characters he creates, ranging from the poetic to the provocative. This novel is a gripping and urgent portrayal of a pivotal moment in American history.
