“Movement.” Article-interview by anonymous author. New Yorker, 16 November, 16-17. Account of a party for Seymour Krim’s anthology, The Beats (60.4) hosted by the publisher, Fawcett Publications, in the lobby of the Living Theatre on 14th Street and 6th Avenue in Manhattan. Krim was there to greet the guests and there was an open bar. The crowd waits expectantly for , who is named as “the only good writer in the whole room.” Krim tells the bartender that the Beat Movement is not really a movement. “Actually, it’s an attitude in anybody who’s young or young at heart. It’s a posture of rebellion…a wave…that brings ideas useful to all of us interchangeably. We turn each other on.” Kerouac and Ginsberg, both of whom have something in the anthology, are not coming; the former “plays hard to get,” and the latter is in Chile. Mailer arrives in a business suit, and a young man informs him that he has been telling people to buy Deaths for the Ladies (62.3). Say, thanks,’ Mailer said, looking bashful.” Praised for the scene in the collection from his unfinished play, The Deer Park, in which the atom bomb goes off, Mailer says, “That part’s all right. Then I’ve got two more scenes after that, they’re even better.” Nobody asks Mailer for an autograph, which another young man says is “a mark of his skill.” The Fawcett host tells the New Yorker reporter that the young woman on the cover of the book is “an associate editor on our books. She’s not Beat at all. We put her on because she looked so typical.” See 57.2, 59.11, 59.13, 60.4, 67.13.

This narrative, which was written in July-August 1960 in Provincetown and appeared on 18 October just before the 1960 election, is the first of Mailer’s reports on American political conventions and an early, important precursor to the New Journalism. Mailer’s portrait of J.F.K. was his first and one of the first of his series of profiles of American politicians, athletes, movie stars, and writers. He has also written about the conventions of 1964 (64.20), 1968 (68.25), 1972 (72.17), 1992 (92.9) and 1996 (96.8). 
Rpt: As “Superman Comes to the Supermarket” (Mailer’s original title) in 63.37, 68.11, 76.5, with some trimming of the brief, italic headlines preceding each section of the narrative. These were written by an Esquire editor. Mailer complained of the title change in a letter to the editor (61.1). Esquire used “supermarket” when it reprinted the piece in Smiling though the Apocalypse: Esquire’s History of the Sixties, edited by Harold Hayes. New York: McCall, 1970. But when an excerpt was reprinted in the “Fiftieth Anniversary Collector’s Issue,” Esquire: How We Lived, 1933-1983 (June 1983), it was titled “Enter Prince Jack”; 98.7 (partial), 13.1. See 65.3.

Mailer reprinted this piece, his first in Paris Review, in The Presidential Papers (63.37), and followed it with a much more ambitious self-interview, “The Metaphysics of the Belly.” He reprinted “The First Day’s Interview” again with “The Metaphysics of the Belly” in Cannibals and Christians (66.11), and added a third self-interview, “The Political Economy of Time” (66.11). All three self-interviews were prompted by his interest in the life and work of Pablo Picasso. Rpt: 88.6. See 95.37, 95.38.

Untitled postscript to “The Time of Her Time” (original title: “Sergius and Denise”) Advertisements for Myself, 418–419. London: Deutsch, 29 September. When Deutsch published the British edition of Advertisements for Myself (59.13), the second part of “The Time of Her Time” (20 of 26 pages) was dropped because, as Mailer notes in his 400-word postscript, it “is the considered opinion of some of the best legal and literary names of the Realm” that “this piece cannot be printed in Britain” without holding up the book’s publication. Mailer goes on to challenge British writers to fight against the censorship which hides behind “good taste, caution and the public trust.” The full text of the story was restored in Britain in the 1968 Panther softcover edition. See 61.16, 74.19, 98.7.

“Norman Mailer: His Blasts Come Fast.” Article-interview by Marj Wightman. Austin American-Statesman, 7 December. Most of ’s comments concern his detestation of the sameness of modern architecture: “You can’t tell if you are looking a hospital, an airport, a high school, a factory or even a housing project. They’re all unbearably ugly and sterile.” He also bewailed the lack of extremes in our political life: “There used to be a time when capital and labor were against each other. Now our politics is just one big center anchored around big corporations and enormous labor unions.” Asked about American artists, he said, “At least they’re putting up a fight. Art is really the marrow of the nation. It doesn’t matter how big a country becomes, if its art becomes as sick as its architecture, you’ve got a sick giant.”

“Mailer Slashes American Apathy.” Article-interview by Bill Hamilton. The Daily Texan (University of Texas-Austin), 8 December. Report on ’s address, “What I Think Is Happening to American Minds,” at the University on 7 December. He spoke of “a very subtle deterioration” in the American idea of greatness. “There is general apathy, a lack of enthusiasm in politics, no desire, no hero,” he said, adding that the country needed a hero like Roosevelt, Churchill or De Gaulle. Eisenhower was a hero “only to those persons who were most proud of their lack of imagination.” Of the 1960 presidential race, he said that Nixon represented “psychic security,” and Kennedy “originality, thought, and glamour,” but he wondered if Kennedy’s narrow winning margin had hampered his boldness.
