{"product_id":"the-executioners-song","title":"The Executioner's Song","description":"Winner of the 1980 Pulitzer Prize\n\nIn what is arguably his greatest book, America's most heroically ambitious writer follows\nthe short, blighted career of Gary Gilmore, an intractably violent product of America's\nprisons who became notorious for two reasons: first, for robbing two men in 1976, then\nkilling them in cold blood; and, second, after being tried and convicted, for insisting on\ndying for his crime. To do so, he had to fight a system that seemed paradoxically intent on\nkeeping him alive long after it had sentenced him to death.\n\nNorman Mailer tells Gilmore's story--and those of the men and women caught up in his\nprocession toward the firing squad--with implacable authority, steely compassion, and a\nrestraint that evokes the parched landscapes and stern theology of Gilmore's Utah. The\nExecutioner's Song is a trip down the wrong side of the tracks to the deepest sources of\nAmerican loneliness and violence. It is a towering achievement--impossible to put down, impossible to forget.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0375700811\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0375700811.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Norman Mailer\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
