I'm 100% GenX journos have read a lot of Mailer's contemporaries (Didion, Baldwin) & in fact Gen X and younger writers have been pivotal in rediscovery of writers marginalized in Mailer's lifetime (Thomas Savage, John William, Taubes) so this snobbery is totally unearnedhttps://twitter.com/MichaelWolffNYC/status/1478084092306546694 …

This GenXer read Armies of the Night just a year or two ago. It's quite something!

The 1960s/1970s nonfiction is the best & if I had edited the Library of American volumes I would've dumped the novels and just had those 5 or 6 books.
