About this Item

Signed First Edition, First Printing of this winner of both the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award in which Norman Mailer famously applies novelistic techniques to his account of an actual event in which he participated -- the 1967 March on the Pentagon, a massive multi-day anti-Vietnam War demonstration. The already prominent novelist turned practitioner of the then-new New Journalism is seen on the back cover of the dust jacket locking arms in march with a distinguished group that includes Noam Chomsky and Robert Lowell, but he also portrays himself within the narrative as making an ass of himself at times. Signed by Norman Mailer on the title page. Cloth, 288 pages. Has name of a previous owner (a minor Hollywood producer) on a front endpaper. Has some tanning and foxing of the page edges. The dust jacket has a chip at the top edge of the front cover and edge wear.
