Evergreen Review
New York–based literary and political quarterly published by Barney Rosset's Grove Press from 1957 to 1973 — a primary American outlet for postwar avant-garde fiction, drama, and political writing, and a recurring venue for Mailer from 1962 through the late 1960s. Mailer's first appearance is the story "Truth and Being; Nothing and Time: A Broken Fragment from a Long Novel" in issue no. 26 (September–October 1962).
Evergreen Review — founded by Barney Rosset in 1957 as the literary quarterly of Grove Press — was, by the early 1960s, one of the principal American outlets for Beat, avant-garde, and politically aggressive writing. Mailer’s first appearance is “Truth and Being; Nothing and Time: A Broken Fragment from a Long Novel” (62.13) in issue no. 26 (September–October 1962), pp. 68–74 — a story whose subtitle (“A Broken Fragment from a Long Novel”) signals what the early Esquire serialization of An American Dream (1964) will eventually become. Reprinted in The Presidential Papers (63.37), The Short Fiction of Norman Mailer (67.11), and Pieces and Pontifications (82.19), and in Evergreen Review Reader: A Ten Year Anthology, 1962–1967, Vol. II, ed. Barney Rosset (Grove, 1980). Mailer’s “The Boston Trial of Naked Lunch” (65.5) also appears in Evergreen Review (June 1965).
