 Portal Sastra

Bersama dengan Truman Capote, Joan Didion, Hunter S. Thompson dan Tom Wolfe, Mailer dianggap menjadi inovator non-fiksi kreatif, sebuah genre yang terkadang disebut New Journalism, yang menggunakan gaya dan pengantar fiksi kesusastraan dalam jurnalisme berbasis fakta.

Mailer juga dikenal karena esay-esaynya, yang paling terkenal adalah "The White Negro." Ia merupakan seorang komentator dan kritikus kebudayaan, yang mengekspresikan pandangannya melalui novel, jurnalisme, esay dan penampilan media.

Pada 1955, Mailer dan tiga orang lainnya membentuk The Village Voice, sebuah surat kabar mingguan berorientasi seni rupa dan politik yang didistribusikan di Greenwich Village.
