“Norman Mailer’s Pulitzer Prize-winning work of journalistic fiction, centered on convicted killer Gary Gilmore, boasts a terrific narration by Maxwell Hamilton…Hamilton is spot-on as he delivers Mailer’s well-drawn sketches of the people in Gilmore’s life—his family and friends—and their hardscrabble existence, capturing Utah’s rigid moral code and scofflaw Gilmore’s low regard for its restrictions. A remarkable tale and narration. Winner of an AudioFile Earphones Award.”

The Executioner's Song follows the true story of cold-blooded murderer Gary Gilmore, who, after being tried and convicted, insisted on being executed for his crimes. To do so, he fought a system intent on keeping him alive long after it sentenced him to death.
Norman Mailer tells Gilmore's story with impressive authority and compassion. The Executioner's Song is a trip down the wrong side of the tracks, right into the heart of American loneliness and violence–it is impossible to put down and difficult to forget.
