Year 1963 Shaped by Debates and Debuts in Books
The 1963 literary year featured rapid paperback turnarounds and plans for a major film of an unwritten novel, with fierce public debate sparked by Jessica Mitford’s The American Way of Death. The Group by Mary McCarthy drew attention for its critique of a circle of Vassar girls, while John O'Hara and Updike produced notable works. Biographies hit hard in non fiction and Civil War histories flourished alongside political memoirs of Eisenhower and others.
