“Norman Mailer on LBJ.” Realist, no. 60 (June), 1, 10–15. Transcription of speech given on 21 May (Vietnam Day) on the Berkeley campus of the University of California. In an accompanying “Author’s Note,” Mailer states that portions of the speech were taken from “my article on the Republican Convention printed in Esquire in November 196464.20 . . . from a review I did in the New York Herald Tribune on Lyndon Johnson’s book My Hope for America64.21 . . . [and] a fragment from a debate in Chicago with William Buckley.”63.15 The final line of Why Are We in Vietnam? (67.15)—“Vietnam. Hot dam [sic]”—is used in the essay as a way of describing L.B.J.’s relief and excitement at finding an issue to shift the country’s attention from the civil rights movement, except that Mailer reverses the order: “Hot Damn. Viet Nam.” 
Rpt: Peace News (London) no. 1522 (27 August), 5–8; with an additional introductory paragraph (in which he refers to himself as a “left conservative”) in We Accuse, edited by James Petras.

In and Out of Books. Column by Lewis Nichols. New York Times Book Review, 14 March, 8. Mailer is quoted on why Dial Press published An American Dream (65.7) instead of his regular publisher, Putnam’s. Concerned that the pressure of writing the novel for monthly serialization in Esquire (see 64.2–64.9) might affect its quality, Mailer concluded that it could “be very good, good, bad or very bad indeed, and there would be a lot more pressure on me if I were doing it for a pal [Walter Minton, Putnam’s president]. Let a stranger [Richard Baron of Dial] take a bath.”

(67.15) with asides on the war in Vietnam, Ronald Reagan, An American Dream (65.7) and The Deer Park: A Play (67.13). Mailer says that Why Are We in Vietnam? “took five months, June to November 1966, with a month and a half out to do ‘The Deer Park’ in Provincetown.” He says, “It’s a book to be read out loud; it uses language more for its sound than for what it means.”

Republished with preface by Mailer. New York: Berkley, January 1977 (77.1). Preface reprinted as “Are We in Vietnam?” in 82.16. Dedication (Putnam’s only): “To My Friends: Roger Donoghue, Buzz Farber [sic], Mickey Knox, Norman Podhoretz, Cy Rembar and José Torres.” Two states of the Putnam’s “first impression” exist. One contains a tipped-in dedication page with Buzz Farbar’s name misspelled Farber; the other has no dedication page. It seems likely that the dedication page was an afterthought, added just before publication and then excised when the spelling error was found. This interpretation is supported by two facts: first, the great majority of examined copies do not have the dedication page; and second, the British first edition also lacks one. The dedication, with correct spelling of Farbar’s name, appears in three subsequent softcover editions.
Why Are We in Vietnam? is one of the few Mailer books not preceded by pre-publication excerpts in periodicals. Mailer adapted the novel into a one-act sketch, “Why Are We in Vietnam,” before it was published. It was staged at least twice: on 19 August at Act IV in Provincetown, and on 6 December 1971 at an anti-war rally at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York. Under the title “A Fragment from Vietnam: A One-Act Play,” the 13-page sketch was included in Existential Errands (72.7) and The Essential Mailer (82.19). Finally, Eurographica (Helsinki) published it, along with 67.16, in a separate volume under the title A Fragment From Vietnam (85.11). Rpt: Four chapters of the novel in 98.7. See 65.14, 72.18.
