Dear Alan,
Apparently the situation is not so final as I thought when writing to you last. I was under the impression that Mayflower had bought the rights to An American Dream (which is the title of the novel under discussion)[1] but it seems that they merely have an option to give a first bid and match any counter bid, so I don’t know that we’re necessarily closed off from one another altogether. Anyway, let’s see how the book turns out. In the meantime,
- my best to you
- Norman Mailer
- my best to you

Notes
- ↑ The public was informed of the novel’s title in Mailer’s final “Big Bite” column in Esquire, December 1963, which was on newsstands in mid-November before the assassination of President Kennedy. Mailer had written the column much earlier, of course, turning it in to the magazine in mid-September.
