Mailer perceived that, insofar as it recuperated the multifarious focalization and documentary aesthetics of the collective novel, The Group implicitly laid claim to GAN status. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Mailer Review is the property of Norman Mailer Society and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
