Présentation de l'éditeur :
Norman Mailer's Pulitzer Prize-winning and unforgettable classic about convicted killer Gary Gilmore now in a brand-new edition.
Arguably the greatest book from America's most heroically ambitious writer, THE EXECUTIONER'S SONG follows the short, blighted life of Gary Gilmore who became famous after he robbed two men in 1976 and killed them in cold blood. After being tried and convicted, he immediately insisted on being executed for his crime. To do so, he fought a system that seemed intent on keeping him alive long after it had sentenced him to death. And that fight for the right to die is what made him famous.
Mailer tells not only Gilmore's story, but those of the men and women caught in the web of his life and drawn into his procession toward the firing squad. All with implacable authority, steely compassion, and a restraint that evokes the parched landscape and stern theology of Gilmore's Utah. THE EXECUTIONER'S SONG is a trip down the wrong side of the tracks to the deepest source of American loneliness and violence. It is a towering achievement-impossible to put down, impossible to forget.

With a new introduction by Andrew O'Hagan
'A great writer ... an utterly enthralling story'. Alan Sillitoe
In the summer of 1976 Gary Gilmore robbed two men and shot them in cold blood. Sent to death row, he could confidently expect his sentence to be commuted to life imprisonment - no-one had been executed in America for ten years. But Gilmore wanted to die, and his ensuing battle with the authorities for his right to do so turned his execution into the most gruesome media event of the decade.
'Such a wealth of imagery and adventure ... it is indeed that rare thing, a classic'. John le Carre
