André Deutsch
British independent literary publisher founded in London in 1951 by the Hungarian-born émigré André Deutsch (1917–2000). Mailer's British publisher from the late 1950s through the mid-1960s; the firm's September 1961 edition of Advertisements for Myself (61.15) dropped, on legal advice, the second part of 'The Time of Her Time,' prompting Mailer's 400-word postscript denouncing British censorship — the full text was not restored until the 1968 Panther softcover.
The 29 September 1961 Deutsch edition of Advertisements for Myself (59.13) was the occasion of 61.15 — Mailer’s polemical 400-word postscript explaining that “the best legal and literary names of the Realm” had judged the second part of “The Time of Her Time” unprintable in Britain, and challenging British writers to “fight against the censorship which hides behind ‘good taste, caution, and the public trust.’” The press conference at Deutsch’s London offices generated “Peter Underwood Meets Norman Mailer” (61.16) and “Young American Rebel” (61.17).
