No. While 'Mad Men' is inspired by real - life events and the advertising world of the 1960s, it is a fictional drama. It takes elements like the advertising agency setting, the social norms of the time such as sexism and racism in the workplace, and the cultural changes. But the characters and specific storylines are created for the show.
I'm not entirely sure if there are explicit novel writers in 'Mad Men'. The series is mainly about the advertising business in the 1960s. But considering the creative environment depicted, it wouldn't be far - fetched to assume that there could be someone involved with novel writing on the periphery. Maybe some of the more artistic characters could have dabbled in it.
Mad Men is not based on a true story. It's a creation of the show's writers and producers, drawing inspiration from various elements of the era it portrays but not directly from real-life events or individuals. The show's focus is on fictional characters and their fictional storylines within the advertising world of the 1960s.
Mad Men was not based on actual events. It was a fictional concept developed to explore various themes and characters within a certain period and industry setting.
The 'a mad tea party short story' presents a rather curious scenario. At the tea party, the Hatter is constantly spouting off about various things in a rather mad way. The March Hare is equally as strange, and they both seem to be in a world of their own. The Dormouse, which is often dozing off, is also part of this strange gathering. They discuss things like the concept of time, but in a way that is completely different from how we understand it in the real world. Their behavior is erratic, and the whole tea party is a display of madness and illogicality.
I'm not sure there are specifically defined 'erotic stories' in a mainstream sense for 'Mad Men'. The show mainly focused on the advertising world in the 1960s. It did have storylines about relationships and affairs, but not in a purely 'erotic story' way. It was more about the complex relationships between the characters, like Don Draper's many affairs which were more about his character's flaws and the social context of the time.
