Just a reminder that May 1, 2013 is the deadline to apply for our summer fellowship and workshop program in Brooklyn Heights.
Mike discusses “The Presidential Papers” in this clip from Norman Mailer: The American.
DID YOU KNOW?
Among major American writers, Mailer is the only one to have a bestseller every decade from the 1940s to the 2000s, from The Naked and the Dead in 1948, through The Executioner’s Song in 1979, to The Castle in the Forest in 2007. All told, eleven of his books spent, collectively, 160 weeks on the New York Times best seller list.
Dear Friends,
The initial response to the website has given me a lift. I have gotten messages from former students, colleagues, friends and family, many of whom I have been out of touch with for a good long time. For the last seven years, I have been in a kind of literary monastery, the kind where you can’t speak with anyone except on holy days. So getting messages on Facebook and the website from old pals and cousins and students has been a treat. Let me also thank those who pre-ordered the biography. After the site was launched, the book’s rank on Amazon moved from 750,000th place to 60,000th, and then to 15,600th. All this six months before publication! I am grateful for your interest and encouragement.
Best Regards and many thanks,
Mike
