Originally published in 1959, Advertisements for Myself is an inventive collection of stories, essays, polemic, meditations, and interviews. It is Mailer at his brilliant, provocative, outrageous best. Emerging at the height of "hip," Advertisements is at once a chronicle of a crucial era in the formation of modern American culture and an important contribution to the great autobiographical tradition in American letters.

Since his death Norman Mailer’s stock has fallen. He is generally perceived as a man of poor character and from the fact of his being a man of poor character many naysayers have concluded that he must also be a poor writer, their thinking being that poor characters invariably write poor books. This is nonsense.

Yes, Mailer has many deficiencies and in the book here under review you will encounter written evidence of his deficiencies. However, you will also encounter extraordinary stories and extraordinary reflections. There are many things to praise in Mailer but I would like to single out just one. Mailer was gifted with prescience. He saw the future. He saw the rise of Trump and the triumph of a very right-wing Republican Party. He saw it and his seeing of the future is all over this book. Finally, if you like this book I would recommend you read his non-fiction masterpiece, his account of the execution of Gary Gilmore, “The Executioner’s Song”.
