SynopsisDonald L. Kaufmann, omitting much of the private drama of the man, has written the first objective evaluation of the writer. According to Mr. Kaufmann, Mailer has undergone a reverse in his views of violence and has discovered "justifiable violence." Mr. Kaufmann here traces how this theory of violence develops in the fiction and how it ultimately relates to such current problems as the Negro struggle for power, the death of John F. Kennedy, and the question of capital punishment--all strong and pervasive themes in Mailer's recent work., Donald L.
