Welcome to the Norman Mailer Society.

We promote the study, preservation, and celebration of Norman Mailer’s life and work.

The Norman Mailer Society, a non-profit organization, was founded in 2003 to celebrate Norman Mailer, author of 40 books and the chronicler of the American Century. It has approximately 300 members and meets annually for three days for panels, papers, films and informal discussion about the life, work, and reputation of the late Mr. Mailer.
