Norman Mailer and The Mailer Review are featured in today’s St. Pete Times:
At 84, prolific author Norman Mailer shows no quit. The Mailer Review, a new literary journal edited by a USF professor, takes a closer look at the man and his work.
They were supposed to use my photo, but didn’t. The AP one is good, too.
The conference was another hit this year. Even though NM himself had to undergo surgery for a collapsed lung and could not make it to this year (we hear he’s recovering nicely: even thumb wrestling any contenders from his hospital bed), I think the conference was a stunning success. We had many excellent papers about NM the novelist, and I had many compliments on my multimedia presentation. I might have that posted here soon.
The Mailer Review, Issue 1, Volume 1, is out! Please subscribe, if you haven’t already; $30 will make you a member of the Society and give you a subscription to the journal. Congratulations to our Editor Phil Sipiora, our Assistant Editors Constance Holmes and Raymond Vince, and me as Associate Editor. We’re all very proud of what we helped create.
I’ll also have pictures from Provincetown posted soon. I’m busy at work on the web sites: both The Mailer Review and the society’s.
Finally, I was officially elected to the Executive Board of the Society. Thanks to Mike Lennon for the nomination. I’m excited about this new development. More soon…
By now, anyone who is interested knows that American novelist Norman Mailer has published a new novel: The Castle in the Forest. What you may not know is that I was mentioned in a recent The Tampa Tribune article about Mailer, his new novel, and the upcoming premiere edition of The Mailer Review. The TBO article has been removed for now; apparently it was posed too soon. I’ll have an update when the real article is posted next week.
