The Naked and the Dead Haruki Murakami Prince Calder isn't interested inWidely considered the greatest American novel written about World War II, and perhaps about any war, The Naked and the Dead secured Norman Mailer's position, at only twenty five, as one of the greatest writers of the 20th century.
