Letter to Reed Whittemore

Norman Mailer's Letters on An American Dream, 1963–1969, ed. J. Michael Lennon (Sligo Press, 2004)

Dear Reed Whittemore,1

Ah, thank you for you invitation, but it can’t be done. I’m in trouble. I’m writing a novel for Esquire over the next eight months and since this by definition is a serial, I am suffering the perils of Pauline. Could you send me a copy of the symposium when it comes out?

Notes

  1. The poet Reed Whittemore was editor of Carleton Miscellany. ↩
