The year of The Armies of the Night (68.8, 6 May; Pulitzer + National Book Award) and Miami and the Siege of Chicago (68.25, 24 October) — Mailer’s twin nonfiction narratives of the Pentagon march and the 1968 conventions, each preceded by a Harper’s version (68.2/68.6 and 68.27). Also the Idol and the Octopus collection (68.11), the major Playboy interview (68.1), the Podhoretz review that ended a friendship (68.4), and a thick cluster of coverage of the Maidstone filming (68.14-68.17, 68.21a, 68.28). The major 1968 reviews of Armies are recorded below as about rows. Counts: ~18 by, plus interviews, article-interviews, articles, and letters across the Lennon register.
