The Society published Reflections on February 20, 2023, for Mailer’s hundredth birthday and our twentieth annual conference. It gathers sixty-one first-person pieces from Mailer’s family, friends, fellow writers, editors, filmmakers, and scholars, from Allen Ahearn to Barbara Wasserman, including Don DeLillo, Colum McCann, Jay McInerney, Gay Talese, Christopher Ricks, Oliver Stone, Lawrence Schiller, and nine of the Mailer children. Giles Hoover designed it. The small print run sold out long ago.
The new edition includes every contribution, along with Judith Aronson’s photographs. It corrects a few errors in the print text and is set for comfortable reading on any device.
If you’d rather read it online, the full text is also in Norman Mailer: Works and Days. Each contribution has its own page there, alongside the editors’ introduction and the book’s publication history.
My thanks to the contributors, and to the families and estates, who answered my letters this fall and helped bring the book back.
