Synopsis
Moll Robbins is a journalist in a rut. But she gets wind of a very exciting story: it concerns a small piece of celluloid, a pornographic film purportedly shot in a bunker in the climactic days of Berlin's fall -- with Hitler as its star. One person claims to have access to this unique piece of Naziana; inevitably, more than one want it. Unfortunately for Moll, in the black-market world of erotica, the currency is blackmail, torture and corruption; and no price is too high. As the paranoia builds and the combatants lose sight of their motives, their souls, even the object itself, DeLillo reveals the terrible truth behind our acquisitiveness. 'This is a romantic novel in the gritty, precisionist, enigmatic modern mode ...a full pleasure to read' New Yorker

From the Inside Flap
t;b>Running Dog, originally published in 1978, follows Moll Robbins, a New York city journalist trailing the activities of an influential senator. In the process she is dragged into the black market world of erotica and shady, infatuated men, where a cat-and-mouse chase for an erotic film rumored to "star" Adolph Hitler leads to trickery, maneuvering, and bloodshed. With streamlined prose and a thriller's narrative pace, Running Dog is a bright star in the modern master's early career.
From the Back Cover
'The best Vietnam novel to appear so far, bearing some relationship to Robert Stone's 'Dog Soldiers' and some to V. S. Naipaul's Guerrillas.' ---Houston Post

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: Gut. 246 p. Exemplar weist leichte Gebrauchsspuren auf / Copy shows slight signs of use. - Like Running Dog, the magazine for which she writes, Moll Robbins was once Radical. Now she's just another hack looking for new angles on old stories. The oldest story of all is sex. And this time the angle is very special. Someone - pick from a big time Senator, a porno art dealer and a Vietnam vet - wants only one thing: a small piece of celluloid, the home movie of Hitler's sexual exploits. Another someone, possibly/probably from the same list, claims to have access to the unique piece of Naziana. A buyer and a seller: a free market where the currency is blackmail, torture and corruption. And where anyone looking for stories could wind up in the obituary columns.
