On 9 April, a memorial service, "The Time of His Time: A Celebration of the Life of Norman Mailer", is held at Carnegie Hall, with Charlie Rose as the master of ceremonies. All of [[Norman Mailer|Mailer]]'s children, his sister, nephew, and many friends and relatives speak at the event.

On 30 June, ''Blue Night: Photographs by George Hirose'', is published by Provincetown Arts Press. It contains fifty-two photographs of Provincetown shot at night with long exposures, and Mailer's introduction ([[08.2]]), which is one of the last things he writes before his death.

On 6 October, "In the Ring: Grappling with the Twentieth Century" is published in ''New Yorker''. ([[08.1]]). It consists of thirty-eight letters from Mailer to various correspondents from 1945-1988. Eighteen of the letters are later collected in ''Selected Letters of Norman Mailer'' ([[14.3]]).

In November, the 2008 double issue of the ''[[Mailer Review]]'' appears. It contains the statements made by 25 individuals, members of Mailer's family and his friends, at the 9 April 2008 memorial program for Mailer at Carnegie Hall, sponsored by Mailer's publisher, Random House, and produced by [[Norris Church Mailer]], [[Lawrence Schiller]], Carol Schneider, and [[J. Michael Lennon]]. Mailer is quoted innumerable times in these eulogies, and in many others collected in this volume.
