Even before its publication, my book Talk<\/a>\u2019<\/em>s salacious reputation preceded it: a highly respected editor rejected the manuscript with the words \u201crepellently raunchy.\u201d After a long trail of less colorful rejection letters\u2014later enclosed in plastic and strung together into a kind of mobile by an artist friend\u2014the book finally saw the light of day in the spring of 1968.<\/p>\n

The day after she received her copy, my mother, traumatized, made a beeline for the nearest therapist\u2019s office. My father, on the other hand, viewed the book only as an object, something he could show off to his colleagues in the garment district\u2014Fink the Mink Man et al.\u2014but he never opened it. And when any of them asked him, \u201cDo you realize what\u2019s in<\/em> this book?\u201d he just shrugged and pointed out the pretty picture of me on the back cover. <\/p>\n

But my mother continued to bemoan the fact that I hadn\u2019t written the \u201cbeautiful\u201d book she had always dreamed I would write. She was very much on the side of the Reverend Charles Sellars of St. Mary\u2019s Parish Church in Hampton, England, who organized petitions to get this \u201csex book\u201d taken off public display at local libraries.<\/p>\n

First edition cover<\/p><\/div>\n

In the meantime, I\u2019d spent many sleepless pre-pub nights panicking about the possibility of losing my job at a prestigious New York auction house; it had been taken over recently by a venerable British company, run by somewhat intimidating young men in nipped-in blue-pinstriped suits and spiffy Turnbull & Asser shirts. (As it played out, the chairman of the company, when he did read it, asked if it was possible for him to buy the original manuscript.)<\/p>\n

So, to explain. Talk <\/em>is a book\u2014I\u2019m leery of the word novel\u2014that consists of conversations among three friends taped over the summer of 1965 in East Hampton. Although these were tapes of actual conversations\u2014they took me more than a year to transcribe, and another year to whittle down from about fifteen hundred manuscript pages to the final 250\u2014the original publisher, wary of possible legal ramifications, played it safe by presenting it as a completely fabricated work of fiction.<\/p>\n

As much as I delighted in its eventual publication and savored the praise of (name-drop alert) such admirers as Harold Pinter and Leonard Cohen, I knew that I had been essentially complicit in the betrayal of the book\u2019s mandate\u2014which was to present raw reality, with only my editorial red pencil to shape it.<\/p>\n

This was, remember, 1965, a time when Rauschenberg talked of \u201cnarrowing and working in the gap between life and art\u201d; when painters, rebelling against the abstractions of their fathers, were inventing Pop Art and working from photographs; when Warhol was filming the Met curator Henry Geldzahler sitting still and smoking a cigar for ninety-seven minutes and the Empire State Building for eight consecutive hours; when the Maysles brothers were documenting the day-to-day narrative of Bible salesmen on film. This was the era of New Journalism and Nouvelle Vague. Exploring reality, exposing it, was very much in the zeitgeist.<\/p>\n

Flash forward fifty years\u2014whaaat?<\/em>\u2014and Talk <\/em>is making a return appearance, at a point when the concept of reality has been redefined and distorted to a degree I could never have imagined. And raunchy? Lena Dunham in Girls<\/em>, Abbi and Ilana in Broad City<\/em>, and Amy Schumer have turned that negative positive. More than acceptable, it\u2019s often outright acclaimed.<\/p>\n

So why am I still feeling a bit queasy, looking at this new edition of Talk<\/em>? Two reasons. This time around, the book is finally being presented as true to that original mandate, leaving no doubt that one of these three taped \u201ccharacters\u201d is moi<\/em>\u2014I\u2019m a prime participant in the raunchiest of the raunch. But now, rather than worrying about the older generation being shocked, it\u2019s young people who give me pause.<\/p>\n

Which leads me to reason two\u2014the age thing. After all, anyone can do the math, leaving me with the key 2015 question: Do I have to stop using fifteen-year-old photos of myself on Facebook?<\/p>\n

In the end, though, I can only concur with what Philip Roth said recently about Portnoy\u2019s Complaint<\/em>, which came out one year after Talk: <\/em>\u201cRereading Portnoy\u2019s Complaint<\/em> forty-five years on, I am shocked and pleased: shocked that I could have been so reckless, pleased that I was so reckless.\u201d<\/p>\n
