Description:
Cannibals and Christians captures Norman Mailer at his most ferocious and visionary, writing with unapologetic force about the cultural, political, and moral tensions of modern America. Ranging across subjects that include Vietnam, American power, sexuality, literature, and public figures from Hemingway to JFK, these essays showcase Mailer’s signature blend of intellectual bravado, narrative daring, and razor-sharp observation. Intensely provocative and startlingly prescient, this book remains one of the strongest expressions of Mailer’s role as both literary artist and cultural critic.
Why We Love This Book:
This is Mailer in full command of his voice—restless, confrontational, and brilliant. The Dell first printing preserves the iconic graphic design of the era and represents an increasingly collectible format of postwar American nonfiction. As part of a serious Mailer or New Journalism collection, this volume belongs among the essential titles that defined a literary generation.
