VERY GOOD With GOOD / first issue dust jacket) The Deer Park is a Hollywood novel written in 1955 by Norman Mailer and firstly rejected by Mailer's publisher Rinehart & Company, for obscenity, despite having already typeset the book. The publisher claimed that the manuscript's obscenity voided its contract with Mailer. Mailer retained his cousin, the attorney Charles Rembar, who became a noted defense attorney for publishers involved in censorship trials.
