The Man in the Gray
Flannel Suit
The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit is Sloan Wilson’s searing
indictment of a society that had just begun to lose touch
with its citizens.
Universally acclaimed when first published in 1955, The Man
in the Gray Flannel Suit captured the mood of a generation.
It was a national bestseller that was made into an awardwinning film, it was translated into twenty-six languages,
and its title has become a permanent part of our cultural

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.

deepened.” —Los Angeles Times Book Review
