      9. Briefly, post-WWII saw triumph of CIA-sponsored Iowa-taught literary fiction: novels about suburban adultery, etc.

      10. Defining fact of post-war bourgeois literature was what it exclude: class, politics, grit of world outside of suburbs.

      11. When the 1960s exploded, mainstream American literature was without resources to describe unfolding reality (as Philip Roth sense early)

      12. "New Journalism" emerged from writers who wanted to describe breakdown of American society & knew traditional novel didn't have model.

      13. One side of New Journalism was novelists who realized they needed to integrate social reality into work: Capote, Mailer, Didion

      14. There's a flipside to story I'm telling: journalists turning to fiction to get at truths beyond codified rules of objectivity.

      15. For the flipside of story, see excellent string of tweets from @LeoJCarey starting here:https://twitter.com/LeoJCarey/status/748706713428262912 …

      1. Disagree! Its techniques had no influence on fiction of that time, lots on journalism.

      16. The flipside is people trained in journalism like Talese (a Timesman in 1950s) found rules of "objectivity" increasingly constraining

      17. What I'd emphasize is that revolt against objectivity had a political/social dimension. Objectivity in newspapers was elite consensus.

      18. The Objectivity of 1950s New York Times rested on elite consensus about reality which broke down in 1960s, hence need for new approaches

      19. To clarify: none of this is meant to be a defence of Talese. He worked on a book for 36 years without nailing down basic facts.

          All true. Mainstream & genre fiction were defined by what mainstream excluded.
