Why Are We in Vietnam?
Why Are We in Vietnam?: A Novel | Norman Mailer
3 posts | 3 read
When Why Are We in Vietnam? was published in 1967, almost twenty years after The Naked and the Dead, the critical response was ecstatic. The novel fully confirmed Mailer's stature as one of the most important figures in contemporary American literature. Now, a new edition of this exceptional work serves as further affirmation of its timeless quality. Narrated by Ranald ("D.J.") Jethroe, Texas's most precocious teenager, on the eve of his departure to fight in Vietnam, this story of a hunting trip in Alaska is both brilliantly entertaining and profoundly thoughtful.

Honestly, no lie, I #threwitacrosstheroom . 80 pages of hateful spewing WITHOUT A PERIOD is just torture. It probably went on much the same beyond that. But I didn't.

On one vacation, reading for the next. So far this story is wild and gritty even for Mailer. Excited to see where it heads, if anywhere at all.

And DJ says in answer: ever read The Concept of Dread by Fyodor Kierkegaard? No, well neither has DJ but now he wants to know how many of you assholes even knew, forgive me, Good Lord, that Fyodor Kierkegaard has a real name, Soren Kierkegaard. Contemplate that. You ass.
