+* '''2020-11-12''': “One’s condition on marijuana is always existential. One can feel the importance of each moment and how it is changing one. One feels one’s being, one becomes aware of the enormous apparatus of nothingness — the hum of a hi-fi set, the emptiness of a pointless interruption, one becomes aware of the war between each of us, how the nothingness in each of us seeks to attack the being of others, how our being in turn is attacked by the nothingness in others.” Mailer and other famous tea experimenters are quoted today in “[https://theweedblog.com/celebrity/20-chill-quotes-about-cannabis 20 Chill Quotes About Cannabis].”

+* '''2020-10-19''': Thomas Doherty [https://artsfuse.org/213913/film-review-town-bloody-hall-rip-roaring-feminist-cross-fire/ reviews ''Town Bloody Hall'']: “The 1979 documentary . . . is a time tunnel passageway into what stand-up comedians used to call ‘women’s lib.’ It is still liable to raise a gendered ruckus — and provide a rollicking good time.” And Sean Murphy also [https://www.pulitzer.org/article/most-important-single-intellectual-event-last-few-years-norman-mailer-and-town-bloody-hall reviews Criterion’s reissue of the 1979 documentary] for The Pulitzer Prizes.
+* '''2020-08-23''': In “[https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/08/the-cool-media-approach-to-conventions/615601/ The Cool-Media Approach to Conventions],” James Fallows writes about the resonance of Mailer’s “Superman” in today’s political landscape.
+* '''2020-08-20''': “[https://www.insidehook.com/article/books/when-writers-run-for-elected-office Want a Shot in Politics? Consider Being a Novelist First].” Argues Tobias Carroll. “From Norman Mailer to Boris Johnson, going from writing to campaigning has come easy for some.”

+* '''2020-04-25''': In the ''LA Review of Books'', Mark Hanson writes about “[https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/mailer-in-miami/ Mailer in Miami]”: “Whenever Mailer changed gears from fiction to journalism, the novelistic keen eye for character and detailed scene-setting merged with the beat reporter’s feel for the smoke-filled back rooms.”
 * '''2020-04-01''': Join us for this year’s conference in Long Branch, NJ, October 15–17. More information is on our [[Norman Mailer Society/Conference/2020 Long Branch, NJ|conference page]].
 * '''2020-03-19''': The ''New York Times'' recommends ''The Executioner’s Song'' in “[https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/18/arts/true-crime-favorites.html True Crime Favorites From New York Times Critics and Staff].” Dwight Garner writes: “With ‘The Executioner’s Song,’ Norman Mailer seemed to cram all of America into this sprawling book about the life and death of the murderer Gary Gilmore. He became internationally famous after he demanded that the state of Utah, where he killed two people, put him to death. The book, which won a Pulitzer Prize, is awesome in its sweep, power and (for Mailer) plain-spoken humanity.”
