Advance excerpt from novel of same title ([[91.26]]). In a note prefacing this excerpt (which erroneously notes that {{NM}} was a chemistry major at Harvard), Mailer is quoted on the importance of winning the &#039;&#039;Story&#039;&#039; college short story contest in 1941: “Obviously it was one of the most important experiences of my life up to then. In those days, for a young writer to be published in &#039;&#039;Story&#039;&#039; was enough to give you the beginning of a real certainty that perhaps you were meant to be a writer.” Rpt: This excerpt (taken from the conclusion of chapter 1, part 1, “Early Years, Early Training,” of “The Alpha Manuscript”) describes a lunch at “21.” In the final version, Mailer makes several small but significant changes. See [[41.1]].<br /> <br /> {{1970s|state=collapsed}}<br /> {{1980s|state=expanded}}<br /> {{1990s|state=collapsed}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Works]]<br /> [[Category:Works in the 1980s]]<br /> [[Category:Works in 1989]]<br /> [[Category:Excerpts]]</div>
