History
During the fourth annual conference in Provincetown (October 12–14, 2006), the membership voted to establish the brainchild of Phillip Sipiora, The Mailer Review, co-sponsored by the University of South Florida and edited by Sipiora and co-edited by Gerald Lucas and Michael L. Shuman.[1][2][3] It was originally proposed to publish twice a year and contain "objective articles, including scholarly, biographical, bibliographical and cultural essays [by] a wide range of writers and views".[4] The Review "contains a broad range of expertly edited essays, reviews, memoirs, documentary material, and a number of heretofore unpublished short works by Mailer, [and] is a major contributor to Mailer's legacy".[5] J. Michael Lennon, then the Society's president, said the journal will realize the Society's goal to produce "something that is going to be relevant and accessible".[6]
The inaugural issue of Review arrived on newsstands on October 18, 2007. Since, the Review has published one volume annually for a total of ten in 2017.[5] Dwight Garner called the premiere issue of the Review a "fascinating testament to Mailer's headlong life."[7] Recent issues of the Review have included never-before-published short stories from Norman Mailer's archive at the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas at Austin.[8][9]
