|File:19650417 Letter.jpg|Granville Hicks, in his review of Norman Mailer’s ''An American Dream'' [''SR'', March 20], tells us that Mailer’s main character has no reality, the other characters are “dummies,” the writing is sloppy, and the plot is absurd. One might say the same about Dostoevsky’s ''Notes from the Underground''. Perhaps ''An American Dream'' is not a great book, but it is most certainly not a “bad joke.” It contains scenes of great power and pages of brilliant imagery. It holds one’s interest. It is an entertaining book to read. ~W. K.
