Mount Desert. An island off the Maine coast south of Ban- gor. Wrote Norman Mailer in Harlot’s Ghost (1991): “. . . Mount Desert—indeed, one’s affection for the island even shares the local accent. As detected by the natives, one spells it Mount Desert, but the pronunciation is Mount Dessert. The view is as fine as sugar frosting to a New Englander’s eye.” |
