- Title
PROPHESYING THE NEWS: NORMAN MAILER'S JOURNALISM.
- Authors
YALKUT, CAROLYN
- Abstract
Norman Mailer's journalism has been justifiably lauded for its perspicacity, breadth of vision, and daring use of novelistic techniques. In the fracas surrounding the so-called "New Journalism" in the 1960s and 1970s, and the debates arguing the distinction between fiction and nonfiction, objectivity and subjectivity, what has been overlooked is Mailer's accomplishment in the context of American journalism history. With the publication of the Pulitzer Prize- and National Book Award-winning The Armies of the Night in 1968, his account of the previous autumn's March on the Pentagon, Mailer restored to American literature the tradition of personal journalism exemplified in the eighteenth-century pamphleteering.
