Man in the Gray Flannel Suit (Paperback)
Price 7.91 - 12.70 USD
Universally acclaimed when first published in 1955, The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit captured the mood of a generation. Its title â like Catch-22 and Fahrenheit 451 â has become a part of America"s cultural vocabulary. Tom Rath doesn"t want anything extraordinary out of life: just a decent home, enough money to support his family, and a career that won"t crush his spirit. After returning from World War II, he takes a PR job at a television network. It is inane, dehumanizing work. But when a series of personal crises force him to reexamine his priorities â and take responsibility for his past â he is finally moved to carve out an identity for himself. This is Sloan Wilson"s searing indictment of a society that had just begun to lose touch with its citizens. The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit is a classic of American literature and the basis of the award-winning film starring Gregory Peck. "A consequential novel." â Saturday Review
