Growing Up Absurd: Problems of Youth in the Organized Society is a 1960 book by Paul Goodman.[1] The book was rejected by nineteen publishers before being serialized in Commentary, and was eventually published with the assistance of Norman Podhoretz.[2]
Influence
Goodman's book has been compared to Herbert Marcuse's Eros and Civilization and Norman O. Brown's Life Against Death by Todd Dufresne, who notes that its influence can be measured in terms of sales figures: over one hundred thousand copies of Growing Up Absurd were sold in its first few years.[1]
