Advertisements for Myself, a diverse and freewheeling tour through Mailer's early career, covers the many subjects with which he'd grapple for the rest of his life: sex, race, politics, literature, and the systems of power that shape American life. There are lists, interviews, poems, confessions, postscripts, two Tables of Contents (one chronological, one thematic), undergraduate short stories, fragments from a one-act play-and of course, Mailer's classic, groundbreaking essays, including "e;The White Negro (Superficial Reflections on the Hipster)"e;, perhaps Mailer's most prescient early polemic, and "e;Mind of an Outlaw"e;, which lends its name to Mailer's latest, and first posthumous, collection.
A playful, unclassifiable snapshot of American culture at the end of the fifties, Advertisements for Myself, is also a cornerstone of Mailer's long and prolific career:
