Long Branch is a shore town in Monmouth County, New Jersey, where Norman Mailer was born on 31 January 1923 before the family settled in Brooklyn during his early childhood. Its tie to Mailer’s origins made it a fitting site for the Norman Mailer Society‘s conferences — the 14th, “Return to Long Branch,” in 2016, and the 19th in 2022.
