"Not for a moment can the novel be taken seriously as a portrayal of life in America--or anywhere else. This is the make-believe world of Ian Fleming and Mickey Spillane. However, Mailer has a streak of pretentiousness that keeps the book from being the good dirty fun that Fleming's books, if not Spillane's, often are. I should like to believe that the novel is a hoax, and perhaps to some extent it is....If one rejects the theory that the novel is a hoax, one faces a distressing alternative. If one believes that Mailer intended An American Dream to be taken seriously, one has to conclude that he has gone to pieces as a writer....The absurdity of the book is not limited to the plot....The writing is the sloppiest Mailer has ever done....[And American Dream] seems to me to represent such a failure of critical judgment that I cannot lightly dismiss it. It makes me wonder how much longer Mailer will hold 'his place in the forefront of modern writer.'"
