Norman Mailer on the Rat Race

Around the web - by Open Journal

An essay on the writings of “revered and reviled, widely celebrated and frequently critised” novelist, journalist, essayist, playwright, actor and filmmaker, Normal Mailer.

In quotes taken from his 1959 book Advertisements for Myself, Mailer’s musings on the modern rat race, “success” and the pursuit of prestige above the pursuit of purpose are passionate, provocative and scathing.
