Synopsis
This novel is noteworthy for its portrayal of Gary Gilmore, a violent product of America's prisons who became known for two reasons: first for robbing and murdering two men in 1976, and second, after being tried and convicted, he insisting on dying for his crime. In order to do so, he had to fight a system that seemed ironically intent to keep him alive. The Executioner’s Song is a Pulitzer Prize-winning true crime novel.
