Reading The Executioner's Song (Norman Mailer).
I have Merc to thank for this, he sent me Under Heaven's Banner, and the reviews on the cover and inside reference it alongside In Cold Blood - which I read years ago.

I have no idea how this book escaped my notice, but I was genuinely unaware of it until now. The only Norman Mailer book I'd read was on Marylin Monroe. I thought he wrote very worthy books about a political system I did not understand. There is also a possibility I had him confused with someone else.

Anyway, I'm loving it so far. I'd heard of Gary Gilmore, but I don't know what he did *. So it's still in the future for me. Like when I watched Apollo 13 without knowing if any of them survived.

*Anyone trying to tell me will be buttfucked in the mouth. By Diz.
