The Life and Times of Grove Press
By S.E. Gontarski
Q: Do you have a publishing philosophy—does Grove Press have a specific purpose other than to publish quality work?
A: &nb';
var HISTORYGUTSTEXT7='sp; There’s a purpose, but the only way you could discern the
purpose is by looking at the books we publish.—Barney Rosset to interviewer John Oakes (1981)
At the Knickerbocker Grill, directly across from the site of the original Cedar Bar on the corner of 9th Street and University Place, Barney Rosset, still alert and energetic at seventy-eight, sips a second lunchtime martini and waves a free arm, saying, “It all happened within five blocks of here.” The peripatetic Rosset began publishing in 1951 in his brownstone apartment at 59 West 9th Street, then moved to a succession of Greenwich Village locations.1 The “it” of Rosset’s comment includes not only Grove Press, the failing company he bought in 1951 for $3,000 and built into the era’s most explosive and influential publishing house, but more broadly much of that cultural, political, and sexual upheaval we loosely ca';
var HISTORYGUTSTEXT8='ll “the sixties.”
Rosset and Grove sat at the eye of that destabilizing storm. In fact, they generated much of its energy and turbulence as this small, unknown reprint house developed into, for nearly three decades, the most aggressive, innovative, audacious, reckless, and finally self-destructive publishing concern in the United States. Grove would enjoy its most dramatic national impact between 1959, when Rosset published the most infamous literary work of his day, D. H. Lawrence’s Lady Chatterley’s Lover, in its first unexpurgated, commercial edition, to the end of the 1970s, when the romantic pursuit of personal liberty waned and America began a process of sexual and political resublimation. Grove could still be provocative well into the 1980s, however, even as material wealth grew to become the measure of worth and value. In the second act of the Grove drama, Rosset wo';
var HISTORYGUTSTEXT9='uld have no role, and Grove would struggle for direction and definition through the late 1980s until it merged with Atlantic Monthly Press in 1993. For all his enthusiasm, audacity, vision, and moral courage, Rosset could never quite develop a sustainable long-term business plan for the press, could neither foresee nor adequately respond to the postsixties political realignments, could not, in fact, guide the press beyond its adolescent phase. By the mid-1980s the debts of a floundering Grove were such that a sale or merger was inevitable if the press was to remain an independent publisher of high-quality manuscripts.
For the previous three decades, however, readers had sought out and bought books because they were Grove Press books, and Grove books were, from 1951 to 1986, Rosset books, the publications reflecting his personality, tastes, impulses, and dogged will. From the first';
var HISTORYGUTSTEXT10=', publishing was for Rosset less an economic enterprise than a crusade. As early as March 30, 1953, only a year after he gained full control of Grove, Newsweek featured the publisher in its industry profile, “Advance-Garde Advance,” and reported Rosset’s publishing philosophy: “He has no intention of making each [book] pay its own way.” That spirit would guide Grove through the next three decades. Nat Sobel, for instance, who came to Grove in 1960 as assistant sales manager, recalls telling Rosset, “‘You know, I can’t sell poetry. How come we’re doing this? I can’t sell it.’ And Barney said, ‘I don’t expect you to sell it.’ ‘Why are we doing it then?’ I asked. And he said, ‘I’ve taken a lot out of publishing, and this is my way of putting something back in.’” That was an unconventional way to run a commercial publishing venture, but Grove’s signature was its unconventionality, fro';
var HISTORYGUTSTEXT11='m publishing Roger Casement’s Black Diaries2 and Lawrence’s Lady Chatterley in 1959, to Henry Miller’s Tropic of Cancer in 1961 and William Burroughs’s Naked Lunch in 1962, to the secret sabotage manual the CIA distributed in Nicaragua under the title The Freedom Fighter’s Manual, complete with instructions for building a “bomba incendiaria (‘coctel Molotof’),” as late as 1985. These were books about which Rosset was passionate, often as much for their political as for their literary impact. Rosset understood early on that sex was a political issue, and that censorship, in any of its guises, was simply a means of social and political control, and so he put all his energy and resources into combating it. Gilbert Sorrentino, a Grove editor from 1965 to 1970, attributes much of Grove’s unprecedented success to Rosset’s character. “Grove flourished,”';
var HISTORYGUTSTEXT12=' he said, “because it considered the tastes and prejudices and opinions of—not some amorphous audience whose desires had to be satisfied—[but] its editors. And above all Barney’s tastes and opinions. Barney even liked the porno stuff; for instance, Harriet Marwood, Governess was a book Barney selected to be published because he admired it. This was a very unusual way to run a publishing house . . . that which appealed to Barney was published by Grove.” In the mid-1960s, for example, Rosset, quixotically, published a Russian-language edition of Tropic of Cancer and thought for a time of having it smuggled into the Soviet Union. He was convinced that Miller could liberate a sexually repressed Soviet Union and thereby promote political reform.3
The entire editorial machinery of Grove would be halted mid-project on occasion and redirected t';
var HISTORYGUTSTEXT13='o Rosset’s current passion—whatever it happened to be. In 1966 he grew preoccupied with the massive My Secret Life, and he wanted to publish it ahead of any possible competitor since it was, by virtue of its subject matter, not subject to copyright. He hoped to build on the success of the equally massive My Life and Loves by Frank Harris, the five volumes of which Grove published in 1963. In Grove’s early years the source of much of its most provocative material was Maurice Girodias of the Olympia Press in Paris. Girodias had brought Black Diaries, My Life and Loves, and The Story of O to Rosset’s attention. He also had close ties with Henry Miller, and he was instrumental in Rosset’s signing a reluctant Miller to an American contract for the Tropics. With My Secret Life Rosset had a provocative book of his own, a book which,';
var HISTORYGUTSTEXT14=' like My Life and Loves, he considered the equivalent of Lady Chatterley’s Lover, and so he wanted to rush it into print. “The job was copyedited in about a week,” notes Sorrentino, “galleys took about another week to be delivered, proofs were ready in about another week, and I think we had the finished books less than a month later. It was really a crash job. We did some others as fast, but none in which the social mores of the time, leavened by the desire for profit, came into direct conflict with the house’s [other] projects.” The Grove edition appeared in a complete, two-volume boxed set of 2,359 pages, with an introduction by G. Legman, and it was soon followed by an “Abridged but Unexpurgated” Evergreen Black Cat paperback that carried a Book Week blurb: “The anonymous autobiography of a wealthy Victorian who lived for sex alone.” For Rosset, the ';
var HISTORYGUTSTEXT15='notorious book was less a credible autobiography than a sexography, a specimen of mannered Victorian erotica, with each episode escalating in candor and overtness to play on the reader’s desire.
Amid the genteel world of New York publishing in the 1950s and 1960s, Rosset was the rogue who personalized publishing, made it an extension of his will, psyche, and libido. Guided by his political instincts, Rosset understood long before the phrase became fashionable that “the personal was political.” If on occasion his tastes appeared eccentric, his decisions whimsical, he nonetheless pursued them to the point of obsession. As Kent Carroll, who with fellow Grove alumnus Herman Graf went on to found Carroll and Graf, quipped, Rosset has “a whim of steel.”
Much of what appeared to be whim, however, was calculated enthusiasm nurtured deep in Rosset’s soul, lifelong political val';
var HISTORYGUTSTEXT16='ues shaped as early as the seventh grade. That “whim of steel” led Rosset to revitalize American publishing in the 1950s and 1960s and to profoundly alter America’s reading habits. Books indeed change minds, change lives, change history, but first they need a readership—they need to be published—and in the ethos of 1950s America publication of almost anything outside local community standards presented insuperable obstacles. The results of Rosset’s audacity, persistence, and at times recklessness are summed up by long-time editor Jason Epstein: “He’s altered the climate of publishing to everybody’s advantage.” Grove author Hubert Selby, Jr. concurred: “Certainly everybody from my generation is indebted to Barney. It’s hard to believe that it was not so long ago that D. H. Lawrence was banned in this country.” And Grove’s senior editor, Fred Jordan, summarized Rosset’s achievement ';
var HISTORYGUTSTEXT17='thus: “Beyond changing the law it is also probably fair to say [that] every writer writing today is to some extent changed by the knowledge that entire areas of human experience which had been taboo for writers of other generations are, if he or she wishes to explore them, freely available.” In November of 1988, three years after he sold and was then dismissed from the publishing firm he brought to national prominence, Barney Rosset received the PEN American Center’s Publisher Citation, “for distinction and continuous service to international letters, to the freedom and dignity of writers, and to the free transmission of the printed word across the barriers of poverty, ignorance, censorship and repression.”
Within a Budding Grove
In 1951 Barnet Rosset, Jr. was a twenty-nine-year-old undergraduate at the New School for Social Research when he bought f';
var HISTORYGUTSTEXT18='rom John Balcomb and Robert Phelps the name and assets of a small, foundering, two-year-old publishing house. While many in America enjoyed the postwar economic prosperity and while race relations had improved, at least in the military, during the war, much in American life at the end of the Truman years seemed mired in an earlier century. The racial law of the land remained Plessy v. Ferguson; the Warren Court’s unanimous ruling on the much-delayed Brown v. Board of Education was three years away, although Oliver Brown had already filed what would be a landmark suit by 1951. Racial barriers showed cracks, however, as white teenagers began buying what were then dubbed “race records,” a variety of jazz termed rhythm and blues. Soon white performers appropriated that raw energy and called it rock ’n’ roll.
An equally undisciplined, antiliterary energy began to emerge w';
var HISTORYGUTSTEXT19='ith Jack Kerouac’s The Town and the City, published in 1950 to almost universal neglect. Soon after, Kerouac took to the road again, gathering material that would find its way into the novel On the Road (1957), which helped shape the sensibility of America’s postwar generation. Allen Ginsberg’s “barbaric yawp” against American materialism and self-satisfaction, “Howl,” debuted at San Francisco’s Gallery Six in October of 1955. It was published shortly thereafter in Lawrence Ferlinghetti’s new Pocket Poets Series and was quickly prosecuted for obscenity. Most of the readings at Gallery Six were performed to jazz accompaniment, not to the regularities of swing but to the disjunctive rhythms of bebop and free jazz. The new beat reverberated in the visual arts as well, as New York “action” painters depicted unmediated libido, raw subconscious energy on canvas.
';
var HISTORYGUTSTEXT20='
Official American morality may still have been defined by the Comstock Laws (which denied the U.S. mails to anything deemed obscene or pornographic, like Lady Chatterley), but Professor Alfred Kinsey of Indiana University had already published the first of his “Kinsey Reports,” Sexual Behavior in the Human Male, in 1948, to suggest that sanctioned sexuality was not always the guiding principle in American bedrooms. Kinsey’s Sexual Behavior in the Human Female followed in 1953 with even more startling findings. Gregory Goodwin Pincus had begun trials with newly synthesized progesterone to impede ovulation in rabbits by 1951. In the fall of 1953 a twenty-seven-year-old Hugh Hefner bought the rights to Tom Kelley’s photographs of Marilyn Monroe for $500 through a classified ad and used them to launch what was to be called Stag Party but became Playboy.';
var HISTORYGUTSTEXT21=' The era of commodifying and merchandizing sex had begun as Goody Pincus’s rabbits were transformed into Hef’s bunnies.
Meanwhile, in Paris a Rumanian immigrant trying to learn English through a rudimentary language book found the experience so absurd that he wrote a strange, disjointed play about it. The comedy opened at a left-bank pocket theater in 1951. Half a century later Eugène Ionesco’s La Cantatrice Chauve (The Bald Soprano) is still playing at the Huchette theater, along with his La Leçon (The Lesson). Just up the hill in Montparnasse, Suzanne Descheveaux-Dumesnil, future wife of Irish immigrant Samuel Beckett, circulated two plays among producers. By January of 1949, Beckett had completed Eleuthéria and a new French play, En attendant Godot (Waiting for Godot), written “as a relaxation to get away from the awful pr';
var HISTORYGUTSTEXT22='ose I was writing at the time,” Molloy and Malone meurt (Malone Dies) in particular. Mme. Descheveaux-Dumesnil met with little success until she saw a production of August Strindberg’s Ghost Sonata performed at the Gaité Montparnasse in the early spring of 1950. The play, staged by Roger Blin, a disciple of Antonin Artaud’s, had impressed her, and she dropped the typescripts at the box office for him. Blin was interested in the plays, and he liked Waiting for Godot, even though he frankly did not understand it. Funding problems delayed the opening and forced Blin to stage the smaller and cheaper Godot first. With its production in January of 1953, a new era in theater history would begin.
Thus, all the pieces for a profound upheaval, a national redirection if not redefinition—in literature, morality, and race relations—were in place by 195';
var HISTORYGUTSTEXT23='1 when Rosset bought a publishing house that had stalled after reprinting three neglected masterworks—Herman Melville’s The Confidence-Man (1949), The Verse in English of Richard Crashaw (1950), and the Selected Writings of the Ingenious Mrs. Aphra Behn (1950). Grove’s fourth book, and Rosset’s first, was a variorum edition of another neglected oddity, Matthew G. Lewis’s The Monk (1952), and with it the Rosset era at Grove Press began. Shortly thereafter he reprinted Henry James’s The Golden Bowl (then out of print) at the suggestion of his first wife, the painter Joan Mitchell, and in 1953 he issued selections from the writings of the Marquis de Sade with Simone de Beauvoir’s influential essay “Must We Burn Sade?” which had originally appeared in Les Temps Modernes in December 1951 and January 1952.
By the end of the 1950s Grove had moved';
var HISTORYGUTSTEXT24=' quickly to bring to national prominence the art and artists of the disillusioned counterculture, provocative and even pugnacious material that appealed to Rosset’s sensibility: the San Francisco and New York poets; the New York “action” painters; the French Surrealists and Pataphysicians; the German Expressionists; the dramatists of the Absurd and the romanciers of the Nouveau roman. Under Rosset, Grove focused attention on and developed such nascent fields as black, ethnic, and third-world literatures, publishing critical books on and anthologies of Japanese and Chinese literature barely a decade after the Second World War and during the Korean conflict.4 Grove published books on the politics of the New Left, on the alternate or counter psychology of Transactional Analysis, on the international art film, and musically on jazz, the African-American avant-garde. (Rosset had';
var HISTORYGUTSTEXT25=' little personal interest in the emerging rock ’n’ roll.)
Although Rosset had been a member of the Communist Party briefly in his youth, the press itself developed no particular program or ideology of its own beyond a broad-based avant-gardism, a general postwar dissatisfaction with the status quo, a militant antiauthoritarianism, empathy for the oppressed, and an unwavering commitment to complete freedom of expression in speech, print, and, finally, film. It had a Left-leaning ideology, an Americanized version of Marxism, and sympathy with the labor movement, but Rosset’s socialism and political activism were always leavened with an entrepreneurial spirit. His father had been, after all, president and director of the Metropolitan Trust Company in Chicago, and it was Rosset’s trust fund and then his inheritance that funded the early years of Grove. With such solid financial backin';
var HISTORYGUTSTEXT26='g Grove was able to publish the vast reservoir of unpublished and repressed material of several generations, paying little attention to profit and loss. As Kent Carroll notes:
There is an argument that says in the mid-’50s Barney, by taste and instinct, tapped into something remarkable. There was all this literature that had been written in Europe from the 1930s—Henry Miller—up until the early 1950s—Beckett—that hadn’t been published in the U.S. for a range of reasons. The most obvious one is that it was considered obscene or, in some cases, politically subversive. It also appeared that it wasn’t to the American taste, that in a nation that read the Saturday Evening Post there wasn’t any audience for Jean Genet. And once Barney began to exploit that body of work it turned out to be the mother lode.
Gilbert Sorrentino, who had cut his editorial teeth line-editing T';
var HISTORYGUTSTEXT27='he Autobiography of Malcolm X with his Grove mentor Harry Braverman, agrees.
It should be made clear . . . that the genius of the house lay not so much in discovering writers, but in making itself receptive to writers who had already been writing for a small and very au courant audience. Grove, to put it very bluntly, had plenty of money, was presided over by Barney Rosset, a man of singular and often eccentric tastes and enthusiasms, and was run by editors who always had the chance to push for the most unlikely projects. Grove, in an odd way, at least for the five years I worked there [1965–70], was a trade publisher with the spirit of a little magazine or small press. Put it this way: Grove actively sought materials which most other publishers would run from in panic, and then Rosset had the means whereby to acquire, publish, and distribute them.

- Requesting the right to print an excerpt from a book that has not yet been published, “first serial rights,” or from a recently published book, “second serial rights.” (Excerpt requests involving books published more than two years ago should be directed to the Permissions Department.)
- Seeking other subsidiary rights, such as book club, audiobook, or large print publication rights, or the right to reproduce a cover or interior image.
- If you are unsure of request’s classification or have another question about the rights to a Grove/Atlantic, Inc. title.
