No writer plunged more wholeheartedly into the chaotic energies of the 1960s than
Norman Mailer, as he fearlessly revolutionized literary norms and genres to capture
the political, social, and sexual explosions of an unsettled era. Here, for the first
time in one volume, are his unforgettable books of the 1960s: two disruptive and visionary
novels, and two radically innovative journalistic masterpieces. War hero, television
star, existential hipster, seducer, murderer: such is the protagonist of An American
Dream, Mailer's hallucinatory voyage through the dark night of an America awash in
money, sex, and violence. In Why Are We in Vietnam? a motor-mouthed 18-year-old Texan
on the eve of military service recounts with manic and obscene exuberance a grizzly
bear hunt in Alaska that exposes the macho roots of the war. The acclaimed "non-fiction
novel" The Armies of the Night (winner of the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award)
and its follow-up Miami and the Siege of Chicago are on-the-scene, in-the-scene accounts
of an antiwar march on the Pentagon and the party conventions of 1968, as Mailer casts
himself as a player in the drama he reports, bringing a sharp and merciless eye on
the decade's political upheavals
