The An American Dream serialization year — Mailer publishes the novel in eight monthly installments in Esquire (64.2–64.9, January–August 1964) and undertakes two substantial revisions for the Dial Press book edition (early-summer Provincetown revision; 20 December galley revision).

Counts: 20 by, 3 interview, 1 article, 0 about in the Lennon register — plus 2 post-Lennon by rows for the January 1964 letters in Norman Mailer’s Letters on An American Dream (04.7), added in the 2026 letter-by-letter ingest.
