|
|
Series I. makes up more than half of the collection and contains extensive and thorough
records of Mailer's literary activities, dating from his entry into Harvard in 1939
through
2005, as well as Mailer's numerous social, political, and film-making activities.
The bulk
of the series consists of handwritten and typed drafts of Mailer's books, plays,
screenplays, poems, speeches, and journal contributions, both published and unpublished.
Numerous heavily revised drafts are present for his major publications, including
The Naked and the Dead (1948), Barbary Shore (1951), The Deer Park (1955), An American Dream (1965), The Armies of the Night: History as a Novel, The Novel as History
(1968), Of a Fire on the Moon (1971), The Executioner's Song (1979), Ancient Evenings (1983), Harlot's Ghost (1991), and Oswald's Tale: An American Mystery (1995). Extensive research
materials, particularly for his later works, are also found in this series; correspondence
and photographs are present to a lesser extent. |
|
|
Mailer's archive encompasses a wide range of topics reflecting the depth of his engagement
in the issues and events of his lifetime: his controversial commentary on race, culture,
and
sexuality in The White Negro (1957); his portrayal of women in
An American Dream (1965) and his later writing on birth control and
the role of women in American society; his commentaries on the Kennedy and Johnson
administrations, the Vietnam War and the 1967 March on the Pentagon, and Democratic
and
Republican political conventions from the 1960s to the 1990s; his coverage of the
1974
heavyweight title fight between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman in Zaire (The Fight, 1975); his analysis of personas and events from the 1960s
that continue to loom large in the American cultural imagination, including Marilyn
Monroe,
the Kennedy assassination, and Project Apollo; his contributions to the cultural debates
on
capital punishment and prisoners' rights in The Executioner's Song (1979) and support of prisoner and writer
Jack Henry Abbott; and his explorations of government, espionage, race, and criminal
justice
in the CIA themed novel Harlot's Ghost (1991), and
television docudramas on O. J. Simpson's murder trial and FBI agent turned spy Robert
Hanssen. |
|
|
Series II. Correspondence, 1939-2005, contains incoming and outgoing letters between
Mailer and his family, friends, fans, fellow writers, politicians, activists, actors
and
directors, scholars, business associates, and numerous other individuals and institutions,
documenting over sixty years of Mailer's life and impact on American literature and
culture.
Included are letters from James Baldwin, William F. Buckley, Jr., Truman Capote, Don
DeLillo, Joan Didion, Allen Ginsberg, Lillian Hellman, Ernest Hemingway, James Jones,
Henry
Miller, Joyce Carol Oates, George Plimpton, William Styron, Gore Vidal, and Kurt Vonnegut
among numerous others. |
|
|
The extensive legal and business records contained in Series III. Legal and Financial
complement Mailer's works and correspondence. These records include contracts, investment
and real estate documents, tax records, and household bills and receipts that illuminate
Mailer's business endeavors, lifestyle, work habits, and day-to-day activities. These
records are subdivided into two subseries reflecting their origins from Mailer's attorney
and Mailer's agent: A. Charles "Cy" Rembar and B. Scott
Meredith Literary Agency. |
|
|
Series IV. Family and Personal is the smallest of the six series. It is arranged
into two
subseries: A. Family and B. Personal. The bulk of the material originated with or
was
collected by Mailer's parents. Included is correspondence from their courtship, records
from
later international travels, scrapbooks, memorabilia, and family photos. Also in the
series
are letters between Mailer's parents and extended family, and letters from Mailer
to his
parents. |
|
|
Of particular note are Mailer's childhood writings and memorabilia. Other materials
include letters, writing, and personal records from Mailer's first wife, Bea, family
narratives written by his mother, and stories written by his sister Barbara Wasserman.
Also
present are Mailer's address and appointment books, passports, and gambling records,
all
dating from his adulthood. |
|
|
The bulk of the photographs found in Mailer's papers are also located in Series IV.
and
include professional and informal images of Mailer, research photographs for his works,
his
book jacket portraits, photodocumentation of his activities, and Mailer family photographs.
Of note are images from early 1960s portrait sessions with Diane Arbus and Richard
Avedon,
and original prints of the Bruce Davidson photographs that accompanied Mailer's 1960
Esquire piece "Brooklyn Minority Report: 'She Thought the Russians Was Coming.'" |
|
|
Series V. Works by Other People contains published and unpublished works from Mailer's
family, friends, other well-known writers, aspiring authors, and students. Included
are
works by Joan Didion and John Gregory Dunne, J. Michael Lennon, Robert Lucid, Norris
Church
Mailer, Norman Podhoretz, Diana Trilling, and Dotson Rader. |
|
|
Series VI. consists of serial publications containing interviews of or pieces by
Mailer.
Arranged alphabetically, they represent a small and incomplete portion of the total
number
of articles published by Mailer. |
|
|
Series VII. Electronic Materials contains electronic documents from Mailer which do
not clearly fall
into other described series. Arranged alphabetically, title in quotation marks represent
original folder and disk
titles as prescirbed by Mailer. |
|
|
There are no film prints or copies of Mailer's late-1960s experimental films Beyond the Law, Wild 90 , and Maidstone in the archive, but the movies are documented through
business and financial records from Mailer's short-lived film company, Supreme Mix.
Publicity materials, review clippings, and extensive production photos and movie stills
complement the business records. The Mailer-directed, major studio adaptation of his
book
Tough Guys Don't Dance is well documented with correspondence,
production materials, audition video tapes, and audience surveys. |
|
|
Books, audio-visual materials, electronic records, and personal effects have been
transferred to other departments within the Ransom Center. See the Transferred Materials
description for further details. |

Series Descriptions |
|
|
Series I. Literary and Other Activities, 1939-2006 (511 boxes, 43
oversize boxes, 47 galley files, 14 note card boxes, 2,852 electronic files) |
|
|
The bulk of Mailer's literary files document his fiction and non-fiction books. Notes,
drafts, galley proofs, correspondence, and publicity files give evidence to the development
and impact of all of Mailer's key publications, including The Naked and the Dead (1948), Barbary Shore (1951), The Deer Park (1955), An American Dream (1965), The Armies of the Night: History as a Novel, The Novel as History
(1968), Of a Fire on the Moon (1971), The Executioner's Song (1979), Ancient Evenings (1983), Harlot's Ghost (1991), and Oswald's Tale: An American Mystery (1995). |
|
|
Mailer's Harvard course work and writings are the earliest materials in Series I.,
dating
from the late 1930s and early 1940s. The Harvard material includes numerous papers
and short
stories Mailer wrote for his English writing classes, as well as engineering and math
coursework, grade reports, and university pamphlets and memorabilia. Also present
are
materials related to his activities in The Signet Society and copies of the Harvard Advocate containing his first published piece, "The Greatest Thing in the World." Of particular significance is a
spiral notebook containing a handwritten journal started by Mailer on December 13,
1941. In
the journal, Mailer records his thoughts on writing and reasons for becoming a writer.
Also
found in the Harvard materials are No Percentage, an unpublished novel begun in 1941;
A Transit to Narcissus, begun in 1942 in the form of a play entitled
"The Naked and the Dead," but not published until 1978; and a novella,
A Calculus at Heaven, also begun in 1942 but not published until
after Mailer's induction into the army in March 1944. |
|
|
Mailer's army papers consist of one folder of notes, pamphlets, and official documents,
such as his discharge papers. A more detailed record of his army service is found
in letters
to and from his first wife, Bea, located in the Correspondence series. |
|
|
Numerous drafts, fragments, and clippings represent Mailer's contributions to periodicals
such as Commentary, Dissent, Esquire, Harper's, The New York Review of Books,
The Paris Review, Playboy, Vanity Fair, and The Village Voice. Also present
are handwritten and typed drafts of published and unpublished short stories and reviews,
as
well as forewords and blurbs he wrote for other authors. Other literary works include
transcripts of interviews by and of Mailer, drafts of speeches, notes and drafts from
Mailer's coverage of boxing and political conventions, memoirs, and numerous poems,
drawings, and doodles. |
|
|
In addition to literary works, Series I. contains publicity and production material
for
Mailer's late 1960s films Beyond the Law, Wild 90, and Maidstone. Mailer's 1986 film
Tough Guys Don't Dance is well documented with screenplay drafts,
production notes, viewer comments, and videotaped screen tests. Also present are screenplays
Mailer wrote for three television movies directed by Lawrence Schiller: The Executioner's Song, American Tragedy, and Master Spy: The Robert Hanssen Story, as well as several never-used
screenplays. |
|
|
Other materials include records from his 1969 New York City mayoral primary campaign,
and
of his 1984 to 1986 tenure as president of the American chapter of P.E.N. Correspondence
is
found throughout the series and there is much overlap in content with files in Series
II.
Correspondence and Series III. Legal and Financial. General research and clippings
files are
also found throughout Series I., reflecting Mailer's interests in topics such as cancer
and
its causes, President Kennedy's assassination, the Watergate break-in, the CIA, and
the wars
in Vietnam and Iraq. |
|
|
Files for some of Mailer's works contain materials for multiple genres or versions
created
at the same time. For example, files for An American Dream include
manuscripts for the eight-part serialization that appeared in Esquire, as well as manuscripts for the published book. The Executioner's Song includes materials from the book, the Playboy magazine excerpt, and the television movie based on the
book. The Deer Park material includes drafts, galley proofs, and proof
plates for the version cancelled by Rinehart publishers, as well as material for the
published Putnam version. |
|
|
Dr. J. Michael Lennon and Donna Pedro Lennon's detailed bibliography of Mailer's
major
printed items, Norman Mailer: Works and Days (2000), was the key
source used for identifying titles and chronology during processing of the papers
at the
Ransom Center. Due to the chronological order of the files and in an attempt to preserve
any
evidence of Mailer's use of the documents, related materials with the same title but
different publication dates are not always filed together. For example, documents
for
Mailer's various versions of The Deer Park: A Play are filed
separately from The Deer Park book materials because they were
created as separate theater projects well after the book was completed. Similarly,
original
manuscripts for A Transit to Narcissus reside in files dated 1942 to
1943, when they were first created, and are also found in files dated 1978, which
is when
the book was first published in facsimile form. And drafts created of Mailer's compilations
of earlier writing, such as Advertisements for Myself and
The Time of Our Time, can include original manuscripts of the
earlier pieces. The index of works and titles provided at the end of the finding aid
identifies all locations of a particular work, including those with variant titles.
|
|
|
In general, Mailer's more recent work, dating from the 1970s onward, is represented
by a
greater volume of material than earlier works. The later files contain numerous copies
of
handwritten and typed drafts faxed between Mailer and his typists. Extensive research
files
created for some of his projects--notably Of a Fire on the Moon, The Executioner's Song, Harlot's Ghost, Oswald's Tale and Master Spy: The Robert Hanssen Story--add to the volume. Audiotape
dictation exists for some of works dating from the 1980s onward. |
|
|
Series II. Correspondence, 1939-2005 (223 boxes, 565 electronic files) |
|
|
Both incoming and outgoing letters are found throughout the papers, but the bulk
are
located in Series II. Correspondence. Major correspondents include friends, writers,
critics, editors, and publishers such as: Jack Abbott, John Aldridge, James Baldwin,
Vance
Bourjaily, William F. Buckley, Jr., Truman Capote, Don Carpenter, Don DeLillo, Joan
Didion,
Jason Epstein, Allen Ginsberg, Francis "Fig" Gwaltney,
Lillian Hellman, Ernest Hemingway, Irving Howe, James Jones, Ken Kesey, Mickey Knox,
Michael
Lennon, Robert Lucid, Jean Malaquais, Dwight McDonald, Henry Miller, Willie Morris,
Adeline
Naiman, Joyce Carol Oates, Norman Podhoretz, Richard Poirier, George Plimpton, Dotson
Rader,
Lillian Ross, Norman Rosten, Robert Silvers, William Styron, Diana and Lionel Trilling,
Gore
Vidal, Eichii Yaminishi, and Kurt Vonnegut. An index of all incoming correspondents
is
provided at the end of the finding aid. |
|
|
The Correspondence series dates from Mailer's entry into Harvard in 1939. Extensive
correspondence between Mailer, his parents, and his first wife, Beatrice Silverman,
dates
from Mailer's army service from 1944 to 1946. In his letters, Mailer writes of army
life and
describes characters, scenes, and plots for what became The Naked and the Dead. These letters serve as the early rough draft
of the novel. |
|
|
Third-party correspondence is found throughout the papers with large accumulations
located
in legal files and literary business files. Other third-party correspondence exists
between
Mailer's parents and between other family members. Photocopies of letters between
Gary
Gilmore and Nicole Baker are found in the research materials for The Executioner's Song. Of special note are letters from Marilyn
Monroe to Marjorie Stengel (149.1), Shelley Winters to Marlon Brando (522.3), and
John Dos
Passos to Stanley Rinehart (scrapbook, box 1008) |
|
|
A relatively small amount of email correspondence is present in the form of hardcopy
printouts. Much of it involves Mailer's wife, Norris Church Mailer, or his assistants,
and
is not directly addressed to or from Mailer. |
|
|
Also of note are close to 200 audio cassette tapes, dating between 1975 and 2002,
containing Mailer's dictation of outgoing letters. In addition, numerous computer
disks,
dating from the early 1990s onward, contain drafts of outgoing correspondence.
Transcriptions and printouts exist for the some of the dictated and electronic format
letters. Many of the electronic files have not yet been accessed and their contents
remain
undetermined. |
|
|
Other types of correspondence include fan mail, requests for appearances,
letters-to-the-editor intended for publication, and business and legal communications.
|
|
|
Folders from 1954, 1968, and several years in the 1970s are labeled "Handwriting
Files"
and contain letters or fragments of letters sent by Mailer to a handwriting analyst,
along
with the analyst's comments. Authors of some of these letters are not indicated, but
many
are and include friends, family, and other writers. |
|
|
Of particular significance are Mailer's letters with literary translator Eiichi Yamanishi.
Dating from the late 1940s to the 1980s, Yamanishi carried on extensive correspondence
with
Mailer discussing the composition and meaning of Mailer's works as Yamanishi translated
them
into Japanese. |
|
|
The series is in chronological order by individual year or span of years. Files are
ordered alphabetically within the chronological groupings. Some chronological headings
are
divided into two alphabetical runs of letters answered and letters unanswered. There
are
also several topical accumulations, such as the Jack Abbott letters (1978-1985) and
P.E.N.
files (1983-1991), that are filed chronologically by their earliest date. The filing
arrangement is not consistent and reflects the various methods in which Mailer's
correspondence was created and maintained over the years. When apparent, the original
headings from the correspondence folders have been transcribed onto the new folders
and also
used in the following container list. |
|
|
Up to 1991, correspondence files generally contain incoming letters with carbons
of
Mailer's outgoing response attached. From 1991 onward, many of the correspondence
files
contain incoming letters only or printouts of computer generated responses. Folders
labeled
"Lett 1" to "Lett 79"
indicate computer file and disk labels that contain computer generated outgoing letters
related to the incoming letters in those folders. |
|
|
In addition to correspondence, the series contains manuscript material from Mailer
and
from others throughout, as well as business and personal financial information. There
is
much similarity in content with files found in series I. Literary and Other Activities
and
series III. Legal and Financial, particularly for materials dating from the 1970s
onward. |
|
|
Series III. Legal and Financial, 1944-1998 (133 boxes) |
|
|
Series III. Legal and Financial includes office files from Charles "Cy" Rembar (Mailer's cousin and long-time attorney) and the
Scott Meredith Literary Agency. The materials have been arranged into two subseries
reflecting these sources. Much of the correspondence located in the Legal and Financial
series is similar in nature to correspondence found in the Literary and the Correspondence
series. Likewise, some bills, receipts, and financial statements similar to those
found in
the Legal and Financial series remain filed in the Correspondence series to best preserve
original order and context. |
|
|
Subseries A. Cy Rembar, 1944-1998 (97 boxes) |
|
|
Charles "Cy" Rembar served Mailer in various capacities,
including literary agent, legal representative, and financial advisor. Rembar's professional
relationships with Mailer date from the beginning of Mailer's literary career in the
late
1940s up to the early 1980s. His extensive files document the business aspects of
Mailer's
writing and give evidence of Mailer's various legal entanglements over the years,
such as
the stabbing of his second wife, Adele, and lawsuits related to his 1973 book on Marilyn
Monroe. These materials also include records of Mailer's first five marriages and
subsequent
divorces, as well as draft copies and contracts for many of Mailer's works, particularly
those from the 1940s and 1950s. Of note is a file related to Mailer's father, Isaac
Barnett
"Barney" Mailer, and his investigation by the Civil Service Commission Loyalty Review
Board
due to his son's reputed communist affiliation. |
|
|
In addition to legal files, Rembar's materials include corporate records for several
film-related companies Mailer formed in the late 1960s, as well as extensive financial
records such as Mailer's personal bank statements and bill and receipt files. Records
created by Mailer's father--a practicing accountant--were placed in Rembar's possession
after Barney Mailer's death in 1972. They contain income tax records and detailed
financial
statements for Mailer, as well as investment portfolios for Mailer and several of
his family
members and friends. Also present are Barney Mailer's own bank statements from the
1960s. |
|
|
Rembar's legal files were received at the Ransom Center in large file transfer boxes.
Their seemingly random order has been maintained, with client and case number filing
information transferred to their new folders. The bulk of the financial records in
the
subseries are in chronological order. |
|
|
Subseries B. Scott Meredith Literary Agency, 1946-1998 (36
boxes) |
|
|
The records of Mailer's literary agent, Scott Meredith, complement Rembar's files.
Meredith's files, retrieved after his death in 1993, date from the mid-1960s to the
early
1990s and include domestic and foreign contracts, legal documents, earnings statements,
and
publication and copyright information for the majority of Mailer's literary works
from that
period. Similar information for earlier Mailer works is located in the Cy Rembar files
in
Subseries A. Of note in the Meredith files are early agreements with Robert Lucid
detailing
Lucid's never completed authorized biography of Mailer. |
|
|
Meredith's files are in chronological order. Original folder headings are retained
and are
generally an accurate indicator of the files' contents, although some headings indicate
biographical information for Mailer when none is present. A small number of Mailer
manuscripts are present in these files. These items are listed in the works and titles
index
at the end of the finding aid. |
|
|
Additional Meredith materials can be found in small amounts throughout Series I.
Literary
and Other Activities and Series II. Correspondence. |
|
|
Series IV. Family and Personal, 1919-2001, undated (27
boxes, 360 electronic files) |
|
|
The Family and Personal series contains juvenilia, materials from other family members,
personal possessions and memorabilia, scrapbooks, address and appointment books, awards,
gambling records, and photographs. It is the smallest series by volume and contains
the
earliest dated materials. |
|
|
Subseries A. Family, 1919-1989, undated (7 boxes) |
|
|
The bulk of the Family subseries consists of writing, correspondence, and other materials
created by or collected by Mailer's parents, his sister Barbara, and his first two
wives,
Beatrice Silverman and Adele Morales. Also present are small amounts of incoming and
outgoing correspondence with other family members dating from the 1920s to the 1960s.
Much
of the correspondence in the series is either to or from Mailer, but significant amounts
of
third-party correspondence is present, particularly between Mailer's parents. Materials
are
arranged alphabetically by creator. |
|
|
Materials from Mailer's mother include correspondence, handwritten notes and drafts
about
Mailer's family, and narratives describing her travels to Europe, Israel, South Africa,
and
Hawaii. Also present are scrapbooks she created from clippings for The Naked and the Dead, Barbary Shore, Advertisements for Myself, and
Mailer's Village Voice contributions. |
|
|
Mailer's father's materials include correspondence, personal mementos, a small amount
of
business records, and one audio tape labeled "Norman Mailer (on
Barney)," which was transferred to the Ransom Center Sound Recordings
Collection. |
|
|
Materials from Mailer's sister and his first wife, Bea, contain mostly short stories
and
other writing. |
|
|
Subseries B. Personal, 1921-2001, undated (20 boxes, 360 electronic files) |
|
|
Juvenilia consist of materials created by Mailer before he entered Harvard at age
sixteen.
Arranged alphabetically, the materials include handwritten and typed short stories,
schoolwork, and scrapbooks containing clippings of airplanes and other machines. Of
note is
a two-volume, handwritten story titled Martian Invasion, written in 1933; and Mailer's
first
published work, "Model Airplanes," which appeared in Physical Scientist, a mimeograph flyer printed at his high school in
1938. Also included with the juvenilia is memorabilia such as Boys High School patches,
pennants, and yearbooks. |
|
|
Address and appointment books date from the early 1950s to the mid-1990s. Included
are
notebooks, planners, calendars, and a rolodex bearing handwritten entries from Mailer
and
his spouses, children, and secretaries. Preserved in these records are business, social,
and
personal engagements for Mailer and his family as well as names, phone numbers, and
addresses for friends, colleagues, and business associates. |
|
|
Awards files include several folders of certificates, clippings, correspondence,
and
photographs documenting a small number of the many awards and honors received by Mailer
over
the years. Included are records of Mailer's nomination for the Gutenberg Award in
1949, an
honorary doctoral degree from Rutgers University in 1969, and the Austrian Cross of
Honor in
2002. |
|
|
Photographs form the largest portion of the Personal subseries. Included are photographs
of Mailer, his wives, children, other family members, and friends. They date from
the 1940s
to the 2000s, although several images of Mailer's family likely date from earlier
in the
1900s. Among the notable images are photographs by Diane Arbus, Richard Avedon, Alfred
Eisenstaedt, Robert Frank, and Inge Mörath. |
|
|
Photographs are arranged chronologically, excepting several folders containing images
of
wives, family, and friends filed at the end of the subseries. Snapshots taken by Mailer
and
by friends and family are found throughout. Prints of dust jacket photos are present
for
several of his major books. Also present are several boxes of still images from Mailer's
movies, Wild 90, Beyond the Law, and Maidstone. Mailer's 1969 New York mayoral campaign is well
documented. Research photos of locations related to Harlot's Ghost, Oswald's Tale: An American
Mystery, and Master Spy: The Robert Hanssen Story fill several
boxes. A small number of additional photographs are located in Series II. Correspondence
with incoming letters. |
|
|
Other materials in Subseries B. include gambling records; drawings, doodles, and
a
watercolor painting by Mailer; and a small number of passports and other official
documents. |
|
|
Series V. Works by Other People, 1946-2005, undated (46 boxes, 581 electronic files) |
|
|
Manuscript drafts for published and unpublished works by other people are found in
Series
V. Works By Others and to a lesser extent in Series II. Correspondence. Included in
this
series are literary and academic works by Mailer's family and friends, other well-known
writers, aspiring authors, and students. Present are works from Jack Abbott, Joan
Didion and
John Gregory Dunne, Norman Podhoretz, José Torres, Diana Trilling, and Dotson Rader.
The
works are arranged in alphabetical order by author name. |
|
|
The largest segment of materials in the series consists of manuscripts for Norris
Church
Mailer's novel Windchill Summer. Dr. J. Michael Lennon's
manuscripts for Norman Mailer: Works and Days constitute the second
largest body of materials. In addition, the series contains numerous biographical
notes and
manuscripts by Mailer scholar and friend Dr. Robert Lucid, and original materials
for Norris
Church Mailer's stage play Go-See. |
|
|
The bulk of the material consists of typed draft manuscripts, but artwork and drawings
are
also included. Several computer disks with electronic files have been transferred
to the
Ransom Center Electronic Records Collection. Some works by other people are located
in other
series. For example, the majority of materials for Jack Abbott's In the Belly of the Beast are filed in their original location in
Series II. Correspondence. |
|
|

boxes, 121 electronic files) |
|
|
Series VI. consists of magazines, journals, and other serial publications containing
Mailer
essays, articles, and interviews. The material does not represent a complete collection
of
Mailer's output, but does include complete volumes of several significant and rare
examples,
such as the November-December 1941 edition of Story containing "The Greatest Thing in The
World." Other publications found in the series include Commentary, Dissent, The New York Review of Books, and Partisan Review, as well as several foreign language magazines
containing reprints of Mailer works or original articles. Materials in the series
