Norman Mailer Society

[8] Members meet annually for paper presentations, panel discussions, film viewings, and other activities centered around the life and work of Norman Mailer.

[9][10] In addition to an annual meeting, the Society undertakes the following activities: the maintaining of a website devoted to matters of interest to the membership, including a newsletter and bibliography updated semi-annually.

[1] Along with Provincetown and Brooklyn, conferences have been held in Washington (D.C.), Wilkes-Barre (PA),[11] Long Branch (NJ),[12] Sarasota (FL),[13] and Macon (GA).

Organized by the Vietnam Peace Commemoration Committee, the events took place on October 24, 2017 in Washington D.C.[17] On May 23, 2018, the Society co-sponsored with the city of Long Branch the installation of a bronze memorial to Mailer and the Scarboro Hotel.

[22] Their first publication was an open-access, digital version of Mike Lennon's Norman Mailer: Works and Days that's "meant to be read and used on the screen".

[24] The Podcast is released twice monthly and features rare audio, interviews, analysis, and discussions about, as James Wolcott put it, the "wooly-bully exploits" of Norman Mailer.

[25] In spring 2018, the Society sponsored the publication of Library of America's two-volume boxed set Norman Mailer: the Sixties edited by J. Michael Lennon.
