{{hatnote|Editor’s Note: The following 16 letters chronicle Mailer’s extraordinary effort to complete and publish his third novel, ''The Deer Park''. As he says in one to William Styron, the process was “a series of tragicomedies.” The novel was finally accepted by Putnam’s and appeared on October 14, 1955. It became a bestseller, sold over 50,000 copies, and has remained more or less continuously in print. Random House will publish a selected edition of Mailer’s letters in 2008, edited by Lennon.}} | {{hatnote|Editor’s Note: The following 16 letters chronicle Mailer’s extraordinary effort to complete and publish his third novel, ''The Deer Park''.
