Homem que é homem não dança

The book delves deep into the darker aspects of male identity. I'm curious whether Mailer drew from personal experiences or societal observations.

The narrative jumps around quite a bit, which added to the suspense but also made it challenging to follow at times. Was this intentional to mirror the chaos of the story?

The phrase 'Tough Guys Don't Dance' feels ironic and layered. I wonder if Mailer intended it as a critique of machismo or something else.
