Description
Universally acclaimed when first published in 1955, The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit captured the mood of a generation. It was a national best seller that was made into an award-winning film; it was translated into 26 languages; and its title has become a permanent part of our cultural vocabulary. Today, it is more relevant than ever.
Here is the story of Tom and Betsy Rath, a young couple with everything going for them: three healthy children, a nice home, a steady income. They have every reason to be happy, but for some reason they are not. Like so many young men of the day, Tom finds himself caught up in the corporate rat race - what he encounters there propels him on a voyage of self-discovery that will turn his world inside out. At once a searing indictment of corporate culture, a story of a young man confronting his past and future with honesty, and a testament to the enduring power of family, The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit is a deeply rewarding novel about the importance of taking responsibility for one's own life.

the American novel in the 50s in a pill
Honestly the way the book feels and flows I'd pretty good for a text from the 50s. wasn't to sure what to expect but it captured the 50s well and the complexity of living in that world especially after the war. Some of the terms were a bit hard on the ears and still surprises me how popular the word phonie was. I think some of the themes still hold up but it's kind of painful as a young person in the current job market to hear the ease of how jobs were acquired. I will say overall there were rough patches where I wanted a chapter to end to get back to the good stuff. Yet the fact there was good stuff that I really found entertaining speaks to how the novel holds ups in its themes. The performance was good byt the children's voice was a bit to whinny but didnt break the performance for me as they spoke little. Also it seems that the children as suspose to be a bit grading so I suspose it works. I just wish my ears didnt have to deal with it. Not a novel I would recommend unless this time period or type of struggle (themes) would interest someone. Maybe dear reader that migth be you. Who knows but I'm glad I spent my time here.
