Synopsis
Norman Mailer n'est pas seulement l'auteur récompensé deux fois du prix Pulitzer, pour Le Chant du bourreau et Les Armées de la nuit . Il est, dès le début des années 1960, une des personnalités les plus remuantes de la société américaine. Ses interventions, qu'elles soient de nature politique, sociale ou culturelle, ses prises de position fracassantes déconcertent, dérangent, irritent parfois, mais ne laissent personne indifférent.
Morceaux de bravoure réunit quelques-uns des textes les plus marquants de ces années-là. Jouant avec un égal bonheur du style écrit et du style parlé, Mailer y promène un regard perçant sur une multitude de sujets – le sexe, la politique, l'écriture, l'art, le succès, la télévision, le Watergate, la CIA, l'espionnage... S'en dégage par touches successives un tableau de la société américaine du XXe siècle.
