For many, the moon landing was the defining event of the twentieth century. So it seems only fitting that Norman Mailer—the literary provocateur who altered the landscape of American nonfiction—wrote the most wide-ranging, far-seeing chronicle of the Apollo 11 mission. A classic chronicle of America’s reach for greatness in the midst of the Cold War, Of a Fire on the Moon compiles the reportage Mailer published between 1969 and 1970 in Life magazine: gripping firsthand dispatches from inside NASA’s clandestine operations in Houston and Cape Kennedy; technical insights into the magnitude of their awe-inspiring feat; and prescient meditations that place the event in human context as only Mailer could.
对许多人来说，登月是二十世纪的决定性事件。因此，改变美国非小说类风景的文学挑衅者诺曼梅勒（Norman Mailer）写下了阿波罗11号任务中最广泛，最具远见的编年史，这似乎是恰当的。美国在冷战期间的伟大成就的经典编年史，“月亮之火”汇集了梅勒在1969年至1970年间在“生活”杂志上发表的报道：从美国宇航局在休斯顿和肯尼迪角的秘密行动中抓住第一手资料; 对他们令人敬畏的壮举程度的技术见解; 和有先见之明的冥想，将事件置于人类背景中，只有梅勒才能做到。

This is one I have meant to read for years, I’m glad I finally did. The author take’s us through the metaphor of the Moon landing but also what life was like in 1969. I remember that year and where I was when Armstrong and Aldrin walked on the Moon. This is a great read for those of us of enough to remember it and for these who want to learn about the time

… writing, astute observations, nuanced descriptions, but Norman Mailer’s vanity is often unendurable.
By often putting himself in the middle as a yardstick it shows how irrelevant he is; that is his (correct) feeling, but PLEASE …. no need to let me know over and over.

Norman Mailer has always represented to me not only the essence of the American Spirit in the second half of the 20th Century, but also as its greatest wordsmith. OF A FIRE ON THE MOON is perhaps one of his top three books by one of America’s top three writers ever.
