The decade’s pivot year. The Deer Park (55.4) is published in October after a year of suppression and rejection, and Mailer co-founds The Village Voice the same month — the venue for his “Raves” advertisement (55.5) and, from January 1956, his “Quickly” column. The year’s eight entries range from the One essay “The Homosexual Villain” (55.1) to an autobiographical reference entry (55.8).
