{{dc|dc=T|his year and the year ahead}} are particularly notable and prosperous times for Mailer Studies. The long-awaited authorized biography by [[J. Michael Lennon]] will soon be published. The Norman Mailer Center and The Norman Mailer Writers Colony are thriving with exciting growth, innovative programs, distinguished speakers and faculty, and enthusiastic participation by gifted young writers. Random House is publishing a collection of [[Norman Mailer|Mailer]]’s germinal essays. TASCHEN has paired Mailer’s original text (his 1973 biography ''Marilyn'') with Bert Stern’s extraordinary photographs, a book conceived by [[Larry Schiller]]. Further, Criterion has recently released a new master set of all four Mailer films, and there is an HBO film of Mailer in the plans. We have much to look forward to over the coming year. | |||

The 2012 volume of ''The Mailer Review'' marks our sixth consecutive year of a substantial life span for our kind of magazine/journal — and we believe that we are in our infancy in ideas, enthusiasm, and dedicated readers. One might reasonably conclude that times have never been better for those interested in nurturing and expanding the legacy of one of America’s most important writers across several genres. And it should not be forgotten that Mailer was a public intellectual of the first rank, as well as a serious filmmaker. | The 2012 volume of ''The Mailer Review'' marks our sixth consecutive year of a substantial life span for our kind of magazine/journal — and we believe that we are in our infancy in ideas, enthusiasm, and dedicated readers.

I would like to express my deep gratitude to our benefactors, without whose generous nourishment ''The Mailer Review'' could not exist. And thank you, dear readers, for your enthusiastic, steadfast support over the past six years. We look forward to continuing our role in nurturing the legacy of Norman Mailer, who matters in ways heretofore unrecognized and unacknowledged. | I would like to express my deep gratitude to our benefactors, without whose generous nourishment ''The Mailer Review'' could not exist.
