Bibliography 1965

The An American Dream publication year. The revised novel appears from Dial on 15 March (Deutsch in the UK, 26 April) and dominates the register: a cluster of pre- and post-publication interviews and articles (65.3–65.11a), Mailer’s paid “A Small Public Notice” (65.9) reprinting Aldridge against Hardwick, and a sharply divided body of major reviews recorded here as about rows. The year’s other spine: Mailer’s testimony for Naked Lunch (65.1, 65.13), his anti–Vietnam War speeches at Berkeley (65.12, 65.14, 65.18) and Harvard (65.15, 65.16), the Partisan Review “On Vietnam” symposium (65.19), Brower‘s first major biographical profile (65.20), and the Lindsay endorsement and Buckley exchange (65.22–65.24). Counts: 9 by, 6 interview/article-interview, 9 article, 2 letter in the Lennon register, plus secondary about reviews added from the AAD Expanded bibliography.
