The Mailer Review

Volume 2 of The Mailer Review (Fall 2008) is a landmark memorial issue published in the immediate aftermath of Norman Mailer’s death in November 2007. Centered on the Carnegie Hall celebration of Mailer’s life, the volume brings together tributes, reflections, and remarks by writers, critics, family members, and public figures including Don DeLillo, Günter Grass, William Kennedy, Tina Brown, and members of the Mailer family. Alongside this extensive commemorative section, the issue includes critical essays that reassess Mailer’s major works and political legacy, establishing The Mailer Review’s dual mission as both a scholarly forum and an enduring record of Mailer’s cultural significance.
