It is not uncommon for renewed interest to take place after an author is gone. I fully expect this to be the case with Norman Mailer. [http://nmcenter.org/ The Norman Mailer Writers Colony], launched by [[Norris Church Mailer]], [[Larry Schiller]], Sam Radin, Mike Lennon, and Tom Staley, is located in Provincetown. It promises to be a thriving, birthing place for generations of writers who have been inspired by the life and work of Norman Mailer. There is renewed interest in Mailer’s work in cinema and future issues of the ''Review'' will reflect this interest from a range of perspectives. There is a substantial body of unpublished fiction in the archives to be analyzed by scholars and we hope to offer selected excerpts to our readers. ''The Mailer Review'', as the journal of record for all things Mailer, dedicates itself to playing an integral role in participating in the evolving legacy of Norman Mailer.

Editors receive far too much credit when a journal is successful. Indeed, no serial publication could achieve respectability without the critical contributions of many individuals. However, there is often one person without whom an editor could not function. In my case, it is Mike Lennon, my friend and chief counselor — an Ur-editor with a stunning depth of experience and a bottomless reservoir of ideas, energy, and factual assistance. He is also a strategic source connected to a significant number of artists, scholars, public intellectuals, and others.
