Roger Shattuck, June 8, 1965

::::::::::::::::::::June 8, 1965
Dear Roger,Mailer met Roger Shattuck, the art critic, in Brooklyn in the 1950s.
I didn’t mind the review in the Village VoiceThe review in the Village Voice appeared in 1963.—I naturally thought it was unduly critical, but since I have two attitudes about the novel, thinking on some days that it’s a marvelous piece of crap and on others that it’s the only thing new anybody has done since god knows when, since Catch-22 or Studs Lonigan, or Christ, since The Sun Also Rises. I read reviews with interest now, looking for a clue. Anyway, yours was interesting.
The idea of the translations intrigues me, but I don’t know yet where or if I would fit. My best language by far is French, only I’ve no desire to translate anything in that language since my French is not nearly good enough. I’ve a smattering of Spanish [and], would like to translate Garcia Lorca’s “Lament for Ignacio Sanchez Mejias.”Mailer and his daughter Susan translated and published “Lament for Ignacio Sanchez Mejias” by Federico Garcia Lorca (1898-1936) in The Poetry Bag (winter 1967-68). I read a translation SpenderStephen Spender, the poet, was editor of the British publication Queen Magazine in the early 1960s. He published some of Mailer’s poems there in April 1962. made of that poem once and knew after going through twenty lines that I could do better with my left hand. Still, that isn’t really my heart’s desire, in fact I don’t know that yet. I suspect I’d rather try translating something in a language I know hardly at all. Some early Goethe,Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, the German man of letters, is greatly admired by Mailer. or some Latin or Greek. At any rate, Roger, let me think about this for a period, and remind me about this in six months perhaps. You see, right now I’m getting started on another novel, and so certainly don’t want to get into any of this.This is the “big book” Mailer had been trying to write since 1959. He mentions it in several subsequent letters, but it was abandoned later in the summer when he shifted to work on a stage version of The Deer Park.
Last thought. A guy named Bud Shrake is planning to open a bookstore in Austin, and got a half promise from me to go down for the opening. Perhaps we could work something up with the kids at the same time. Only for four or five days on a campus is not my idea of heaven, since all the college kids I know or have ever met seem to do nothing but ask questions, nine-tenths of them the sort which can be answered by IBM cards, and I always feel like a decrepit machine with burned-out fuses by the time I get away. It’s one thing to live with these kids all year, every year, that I imagine can be just as good as anything else, but, Roger, I don’t know if you have any idea of what it’s like to take them on for twenty-four hours, or seventy-two. No matter, it looks as if we’ll have something to discuss in the fall. Right now I’m off to Provincetown for four months of good work, I hope.

Dear Sandy,Sanford Sternlicht, an English professor at New York State University College at Oswego, wanted ’s opinion of the film version.
Just a line to tell you that we may be in Provincetown Christmas week, for we own a home here now, but if we’re in New York, we’ll look forward to seeing you. You write, “We have as not yet seen An American Dream and find it difficult to imagine it confined to the screen.” Yes indeed, Sir, when you see it, you may find it difficult to imagine.

Statement for Managing Mailer

Managing Mailer is a work about
a minor politician written by a man who
is going to be a major reporter. Flaherty
treats a dozen delicate egos like golf
balls and then proceeds to see how far
he can whap them. I wouldn’t mind if I
could ban this book (since I am one of
those egos) but since I can’t, I may as
well leap on the bandwagon. If every
major politician in America had a campaign
manager who wrote about his
campaign like my man Joe, America
would be out of its pollution.

Teon Blake Jr.

was born in Brooklyn, New York, and is a th grade honor roll student. Teon is well known by his family, friends, and peers to stand out. He enjoys being creative and his unique style captures audiences of all ages. He spends most of his time drawing and writing as well as creating comic books. When he was asked by Horizons if he would like to participate in a writing contest, he was enthusiastic. One of the biggest reasons for his enthusiasm was knowing he could incorporate anti-bullying themes into his writing. The theme inspired him to think beyond his imagination. As a -year-old on the verge to entering his teens, Teon has always tried to practice anti-bullying to the best of his ability. He doesn’t like when kids are picked on, therefore, he figured this would be the perfect opportunity to send a message to bullies about how their actions affect others. This was how “Kelen Saved the Day!” came about. As he continues his journey writing and
drawing, Teon hopes to one day become a published author and Illustrator
of books. His parents are extremely proud.

The Mailer Review/Volume 1, 2007/Mailer Takes on America: Images from the Ransom Center Archive

announced the acquisition of the entire Norman Mailer archive. In response to the question “Why Texas?” Mailer commented,
Since then, a team of four archivists has been hard at work organizing and cataloging the 900 (give or take a few) document boxes worth of material chronicling every phase of Mailer’s life and career from the 1930s on. The archive will open for use at the beginning of 2008.
Because of widespread public interest in the acquisition, Thomas F. Staley, the Center’s Director, asked that the authors of this article mount an exhibition based on the archive in the fall of 2006. We therefore had the challenge of encountering the Mailer papers in their “raw” unprocessed state, in the original folders and cartons. For those of us who savor the experience of handling original documents largely untouched since their creation, it was also a privilege. The exhibition could not have come together without the considerable assistance of J. Michael Lennon, Mailer’s unofficial archivist, who knows these papers better than anyone.
“Norman Mailer Takes on America” placed Mailer and his works in a political and cultural context and traced the central role he has played in our awareness and understanding of what critic Morris Dickstein has called the “shocks of history, politics and contemporary life” that shaped the latter half of the twentieth century and continue to unsettle the twenty-first. The exhibition was the public’s first opportunity to sample the Mailer archive and more than 200 items spanning the full range of Mailer’s career, examined in the context of the cultural and historical events that sparked his imagination. With this pictorial essay excerpted from the full exhibition, the curators hope to convey a small sense of its scope for those who were unable to view it in Austin.
