A review by kristinlynn24
The Armies of the Night: History as a Novel, the Novel as History by Norman Mailer

1.0

I understand that this novel is new journalism, and through that a lot of Mailer's personality will be encapsulated in the novel -- but since I thought he was egotistical and arrogant, I really couldn't stand this book. I love this era in history and felt Mailer really lost his opportunity to express the importance of this major event because he was so focused on self-promotion and creating an image of himself.
