Norman Mailer Society/Conference/2004

November 12-14, 2004, Provincetown, MA
The 2004 Norman Mailer Society Meeting / Conference to be held in Provincetown, Massachusetts on November 12 and 13 is fast approaching. To mark the 20th Anniversary of Tough Guys Don't Dance and the 25th Anniversary of The Executioner's Song, discussions of these two books will be the heart of the conference. Mr. Lawrence Schiller, who collaborated with Mr. Mailer on The Executioner's Song, has agreed to speak and answer questions about how he and Mailer conducted the interviews and research for Pulitzer-Prize winning narrative and about his personal interviews with Gary Gilmore. Because Tough Guys Don't Dance is set in Provincetown, there will be an exhibit of materials associated with the novel and the subsequent film at the Pilgrim Monument and Provincetown Museum (and a free cocktail reception for Society members). There will be a showing of the film on Friday, November 12th as well. On Saturday evening, Mr. Mailer will give a reading, and attend the reception that will follow. As you can see, it will be an ever-memorable conference.
 
Please be reminded that only 2004 Members of the Society can attend the 2004 Meeting / Conference and Mr. Mailer's reading on Saturday evening. Also included as Attachments are a 2004 NMS Conference Registration Form and information about reserving a room at the Provincetown Inn, where the Meeting / Conference will be conducted. Those registering before October 1 need only pay $80 per person. It will be $100 per person after October 1. Please send in your dues and registration in a timely way so that we can make plans.

Norman Mailer Society/Conference/2020

Permalink | #NMSCon20
In light of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, and the possibility of new waves of cases in the fall, we have decided to postpone our meeting at Monmouth University, and instead hold the conference virtually. We are disappointed that we will not be able to meet in Long Branch this year, but we hope to return there in 2021.
* Register
* Join the Norman Mailer Society
* Program
==Call for Papers==
In light of these changes, and with travel-related barriers now removed, we would like to encourage you once again to submit proposals for this now virtual event! Our organizing theme, as previously noted in the CFP sent out earlier this year, is still “Mailer and the Spirit of Democracy.” Discussions encompassed by this broad theme might include (but are not limited to): Mailer’s “Superman Comes to the Supermarket” (on the 60th anniversary of its publication); Mailer’s election coverage; Mailer's views on race, racism, and equality; his views of American presidency and leadership; totalitarianism, literary freedom; and connections between literature and democracy.
The conference will still be held the weekend of October 15th, and our plan is to hold sessions via Zoom. Due to the changed platform, we strongly encourage short presentations to favor of more discussion and participation. We also welcome proposals that include other digital media or creative methods of online presentation (images, slides, video, etc.) to diversify the experience of the online format.
To submit a proposal for a panel, individual paper, or special event, please e-mail the following to conference co-chairs Maggie McKinley (), Jerry Lucas () and Matt Hinton (): 
* a 150-200 word abstract of the proposed presentation;
* a 50-word biographical statement.
Proposals are due by August 1, 2020.
In the coming months, we will provide information about registration, instructions for participation, and a program schedule. If you have any questions in the meantime, please let me know.

Norman Mailer Society/Join/2019 Membership Drive

Dear Members of the Mailer Society,
Happy New Year! With this email, we begin our annual Norman Mailer Society Membership Drive. I’d like to first thank you for your ongoing support of the NMS, which continues to thrive because of your involvement.
I know many of you are anxiously awaiting Volume 11 of The Mailer Review, and I am pleased to announce that after a number of unforeseen delays and obstacles over the past year, the volume is now back on track and headed into production, with an anticipated mailing date this spring. Thereafter, Phil Sipiora and his staff will directly begin work on producing Vol. 12 of the Review. Thank you all for your patience amid these delays—we are excited for you all to read the next issue.
After our successful annual conference in Macon, GA this past year, we are also looking forward to our 2019 Conference, which will be held at Wilkes University, October 10th-12th, 2019. More information, including an official Call for Papers, will be coming soon.
Speaking of the conference–and of Mailer research in general–I also want to take the opportunity to remind everyone about the Barry Leeds Travel Fund, established by family and friends to honor the memory of the late Barry H. Leeds, one of the founders of the Mailer Society. In 2019, the Fund will award $100 travel grants to students attending the annual Mailer Society conference. The Society will also accept applications for a $500 award to scholars traveling to the University of Texas-Austin to study the Mailer papers at the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center. A brief letter explaining the applicant’s research project should be sent to Society Board members, Dr. Robert Begiebing (rbegiebing [at] comcast [dot] net) and Dr. Bonnie Culver (bonnie [dot] culver [at] wilkes [dot] edu) by May 1, 2019.
In the meantime, I hope you’ll consider renewing your membership in the Norman Mailer Society this year. Membership in the Society runs from January through December, and our membership dues remain as low as always. See below for rate and payment information, and feel free to reach out if you have questions.
Membership dues are as follows:
* Student ($10)
* Individual ($30)
