Summary
This chapter provides a brief overview of notable Mailer scholarship, addressing The Mailer Review and the digital hub Project Mailer, as well as the recent authorized biography of Mailer and the publication of his selected letters. The chapter focuses primarily on Lipton’s Journal, Mailer’s personal journal from the 1950s, arguing that this is a key to unlocking many aspects of Mailer’s work, and that it is the way forward in Mailer Studies this century.
