Great Regulars: With thousands of others (including Mailer),

I marched on the Pentagon in 1967. This was one of the first major anti-Vietnam marches, and I remember eagerly buying Armies of the Night (1968), Mailer's compelling account of that protest. I was, however, dismayed by the focus on himself: the Vietnam War was not about him.

from Jay Parini: The Guardian: theblogbooks: Mailer's talent was never as big as his ego
