About This Item
Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1967.

The very good plus jacket shows some light wear to tips, one tiny chip to spine bottom; some scattered light rubbing at rear, and short dampstain at bottom of spine at the fold.. First Printing (stated). Hard Cover.
Synopsis
Rheinhardt, a disk jockey and failed musician, rolls into New Orleans looking for work and another chance in life. What he finds is a woman physically and psychically damaged by the men in her past and a job that entangles him in a right-wing political movement. Peopled with civil rights activists, fanatical Christians, corrupt politicians, and demented Hollywood stars, A Hall of Mirrors vividly depicts the dark side of America that erupted in the sixties. To quote Wallace Stegner, "Stone writes like a bird, like an angel, like a circus barker, like a con man, like someone so high on pot that he is scraping his shoes on the stars."
