 | A Hall of Mirrors by Robert Stone
Rheinhardt, a brilliant but failed classical clarinetist, an alcoholic and desperate for a job, becomes a deejay for WUSA, a right-wing racist radio station. Geraldine, from West Virginia, is a bruised, battered, ignorant but decent woman who has an affair with Rheinhardt, although he only hurts her more. Stirring up the racist fear and anger of poor whites, the station sponsors a rally that turns into a riot--and into an apocalypse that is the proving moment for these main characters. This book was made into the film WUSA, starring Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward and Anthony Perkins; although the movie was panned, Paul Newman championed it as one of his best works and a political statement. The book also won the William Faulkner Award for Best First Novel. AUTHOR: Robert Stone
