An American Dream (novel)
''An American Dream'' is a 1965 novel by American author Norman Mailer. It was published by Dial Press. Mailer wrote it in serialized form for '' Esquire'', consciously attempting to resurrect the methodology used by Charles Dickens and other earlier novelists, with Mailer writing each chapter against monthly deadlines. The book is written in a poetic style heavy with metaphor that creates unique and hypnotising narrative and dialogue. The novel's action takes place over 32 hours in the life of its protagonist Stephen Rojack. Rojack is a decorated war-hero, former congressman, talk-show host, and university professor. He is depicted as the metaphorical embodiment of the American Dream. Background In 1963, Mailer wrote two regular columns: one on religion called "Responses and Reactions" for ''Commentary'' and one called "Big Bite" for ''Esquire''. Mailer also divorced from his third wife Jeanne Campbell and met Beverly Bentley who would become his fourth wife. Bentley had k ...

Express (album)
''Express'' is the second studio album by English alternative rock band Love and Rockets. It was released on 15 September 1986 on Beggars Banquet Records. An even greater departure from the band members' previous work as Bauhaus, the album's fusion of underground rock with pop stylings can be seen as an early example of alternative rock music, a genre that reached mainstream popularity in the early 1990s. "Kundalini Express" was featured in the 1986 Italian horror film ''Demons 2'' and appeared on an episode of the T.V. show ''Miami Vice''. Reception In their retrospective review, AllMusic gave the album four-and-a-half stars out of five, writing, "rich in sonic detail, the neo-psychedelic ''Express'' offers a listening experience like no other album – guitars spiral to dizzying heights from beds of sound, arrangements swirl, songs change and mutate."
