Welcome to Project Mailer, the Digital Humanities initiative of the Norman Mailer Society.
This website serves as a hub for the digital endeavors of the Norman Mailer Society. It features an overview of projects — both analog and digital — undertaken by the Society's members that help to support and maintain the legacy of Norman Mailer.
Featured
Norman Mailer: Works and Days is our premiere digital project based on the book by J. Michael Lennon and Donna Pedro Lennon and edited by Gerald R. Lucas. It contains almost 1400 cross-referenced entries, images, and many full-text articles.
The Mailer Review, the official journal of the Norman Mailer Society, publishes articles, notes, creative works, interviews, cultural/biographical commentary, images, and book reviews relevant to the life and work of Norman Mailer.
The Structured Vision of Norman Mailer by Barry H. Leeds was published in 1969 and explores Norman Mailer’s major writing through the sixties. We present the full text of Leeds’ study in a new digital form.
This collection, assembled by J. Michael Lennon, features full-text introductions, prefaces, and forewords by Norman Mailer, including those to the works of Jean Malaquais, Abbie, Hoffman, Harold Conrad, Eugene Kennedy, and Charles Rembar.
Coming Soon — A DH project on Mailer’s An American Dream, featuring full-text criticism, letters, essays, and more.
Coming Soon — A digital version of Lipton’s Journal: Mailer’s experimental journal from the late-50’s, edited by J. Michael Lennon and Susan Mailer.
Hosted by Justin Bozung and published twice monthly, The Norman Mailer Society Podcast highlights the people and projects that promote the legacy of Norman Mailer.
