Considered by some to be one of the greatest post-war American novels. As with many of Purdy's novels, it concerns itself with the act of writing itself and how reality is fabricated in the novel. Cabot Wright the central character is a serial rapist newly released from prison.The book concerns an attempt to make a best selling novel from his story. To 'write the truth like fiction' as one of the characters says. In one crucial scene Cabot Wright describes his unfurnished room unfurnished room. 'I have you see four or five wallpapers, one under the other. They wear down gradually all of them to the original willow pattern over the calcimine itself, then robin readbreast, scenes at the forge, water lilies, peasents in ancient France.' In a way Cabot Wrights identity like the wallpaper is a series of identities imprinted on him by society. But stripped away you end up with a blank. It is difficult to love the characters in this book, no one is particularly likable. But that's not the point. This is a book about identity. At times it reminded me of Desolation Row by Bob Dylan (also written in 1965). For instance this scene: 'Everywhere he saw those engaged in race-track betting, gambling and other realated pursuits, professional cat and dog walkers, disappointed unpublished authors, longshoremen unhired or laid off for some reasons, plain clothesmen resting until their suspected turned up, photographers, reported hoping to run into stories, worried businessmen out to think things through, senile Spaniards who still discussed Franco, young men in Bermuda shorts, the crippled ministers of churches getting ideas, social workers "out in the field", shoe clerks out for a smoke, nursemaids, homemakers, cooks, and children not at camp.' Not sure whether this book is still in print, but worth checking the second-hand bookshops for. HA!
