"Le Pavilion was an institution, not a restaurant. It was the Louvre...
...many, at least, like Adler, who used to be an adman (Kenyon & Eckhardt) and magazine editor (McCall's) before he began to think professionally.

It all lurches to a halt with Model Ferris on her way back to plugging meat and the Five on their way to Nowheresville...
...fact, what appears to have occupied most of his energy during the last decade is not novel writing but a messianic effort at transmogrifying the entire U.S.-society, psyches, applecarts and all. That this is the business of a holy man, or an adman, does not deter him. Mailer yearns to be hip, but he is inescapably square. For only a born square would preach the way he does. That is what is exasperating, touching, and ultimately tedious about...
