Her

they

"I

The
dramatic
encounter

NORMAN
MAULER,
in
recent
years
more
of
a
political
and
domestic-strife
stormy
petrel
than
a
literary
figure,
has
suddenly
and
rather-dramatically
reverted
to
form--as
a
major
author
on
the
American
and
world
literary
scene.
Mailer's
tour
de
force
is
a
nearly-book-length
article
in
the
March
issue
of
Harper's
Magazine,
entitled
"The
Steps
of
the
Pentagon."
This
is
a
literary
masterpiece,
considered
from
whatever
ralitical
viewpoint
or
partisan
judgment.
The
narrative,
of
course,
concerns'
Mailer's
now
widely
publicized
participation
in
the
draft-card
demonstration
against
the
Vietnam
War,
at
the
Pentagon
building.
Mailer's
deep
concern
with
the
morality
of
the
war
issues
'and
his
personal
dedication
to
the
cause
of
the
protestors,
fades
into
the
background
of
"The
Steps
of
the
Penta--
gon."
The
overpowering
"hero"
of
the
novel
(wbich,
indeed,
it'Is)
is'Mailer's
.writing,,
a
pure
and
powerful
distillation
of
honesty,
exquisite
literacy
and
phrase-making,
novelist's
supreme
capacity
for
characterization
and
historical
description,
and
most
every,
other
facet
of
a
serious
author's
art.
TAKEN
JCOMPLBTEliY
out
of
context,,
many
of
Mailer's
phrases
ring
as
true'
;
and
loud
as
an
Emersonian
epigram..
.
,
;
"
'
'
.
"Civilization,"
Mailer
writes,
"extracts
its
thousand
fees
from
the
best
nights
of
man,
but
none
so.
cruel
as
the
re-placement
of
the
good
fairy
by
the
expert,
the
demon
by
the
rational
crisis,
and
the
witch
by
the
neurotic
female."
And
again:
"Probably
there
were
very
few
good
wars
(good
wars
being
'free
ojf
excessive
exhaustion;,
raddled
bowels,
miserable
food,-and
computerized
methods),
but
if
you
were
In
as
good
shape

as
for
football,

(is)
very
little
which
.was
better
f
o
r
t
h
e
senses
..."
'
·
"
·
-
.
The'latter
quotation,
true,
takes
a
bit
of
explanation.
Mailer,
in
great
spirit,
took
the
march
on
the
Pentagon
rather
In

nature
of
a

war.
He
envisioned
"the
ghosts
of
old
battles

like
clouds
over
Washington"
...
"A
galaxy
of
bugles
to
the
cries
of
the
Civil
War.
.
."
Mailer,
in
brief,
has.composed

novel-style.,
drama,
an
essay
of
length,
and
in
somber
depth,
to
weep
for
this
nation's
involvement
in
an
undeclared
Asian
war.

.
AS
FOR
the
building
of
the
march
toward
the
Pentagon
that
October
day
not
too
long
ago,
Mailer
writes:
