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 [[Norman Mailer|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]]). | 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 [[Norman Mailer|Mailer]]’s reports on American political conventions and an early, important precursor to the New Journalism.
