The study situates Norman Mailer in the tradition of Modernism, showing how he imbibed the worldview of a coterie of male modernist writers who imposed their notions of art and literature and politics on the movement. Mailer followed a specific ideological path, moving from a rejection of liberalism, technocracy and mass culture to a Gnostic vision.
