Its title &#8212; like Catch-22 and Fahrenheit 451 &#8212; has become a part of America&#8217;s cultural vocabulary. Tom Rath doesn&#8217;t want anything extraordinary out of life: just a decent home, enough money to support his family, and a career that won&#8217;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 &#8212; and take responsibility for his past &#8212; he is finally moved to carve out an identity for himself. This is Sloan Wilson&#8217;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. &#8220;A consequential novel.&#8221; &#8212; Saturday Review</div> 87701 1955 Man in the Gray Flannel Suit total:229|5:47|4:92|3:74|2:16|1:0| 229 857 357 34 90886 1568582463 9781568582467 179 26 3.74 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171223885m/90886.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/90886.Man_in_the_Gray_Flannel_Suit 5 2 false Sat Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun Mar 16 10:51:13 -0700 2008 Sun Mar 16 11:02:06 -0700 2008
My dad recommended this book to me after I raved about the AMC show "Mad Men."
