It is impossible to walk away from this novel without being sharply reminded of the fact that Norman Mailer is a writer of extraordinary ability.--Chicago Tribune

Featuring a new foreword by Mailer scholar Maggie McKinley

Published nearly twenty years after Norman Mailer's fiction debut, The Naked and the Dead, this acclaimed novel further solidified the author's stature as one of the most important figures in contemporary American literature. Ranald D. J. Jethroe, Texas's most precocious teenager, recounts a brutal hunting trip he took to Alaska--in a story of fathers and sons, myth and masculinity, character and corruption. Both entertaining and profound, Why Are We in Vietnam? is an exceptional, timeless work awaiting discovery by a new generation of readers.

Praise for Why Are We in Vietnam?

A tour de force, a treatise on human nature.--The Dallas Morning News

A brilliant piece of writing.--Newsweek

Original, courageous, and provocative.--The New York Times
