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.

离开洛杉矶直呼，尼科尔辗转来到俄勒冈的一个小镇，在那里租了一小套公寓。一天早上，她正坐在厨房里和昨天与她过夜的那个男人一起喝咖啡。她正要伸手去拿桌上的什么东西时，突然感到自己的手有点异样，手上那枚加里送给她的“地狱判官戒指”碰坏了，镶嵌宝石的框子出现了裂纹。

几个月来，她已经锻炼得很有克制力了，可是看到这只出现裂纹的戒指，她心中突然感到一阵剧痛，她一头扑倒在桌子上，失声痛哭起来。这是一、两个月来她第一次真正伤心地为加里痛苦。

盒里有许多张尼科尔在不同年龄时和她家里人一起拍的照片，有许多人寄给加里的信，还有一枚圣·迈克尔纪念章，最好的东西是一件海军蓝汗衫。这件汗衫没有汗臭味，却散发着加里身上的那种气息，非常好闻。这件汗衫太好了，她不打算洗它。那天晚上她把它穿在身上，以后又穿了几次，不过她就是不想洗它。但是过了不久，汗衫变得奇臭难闻，她只好把它洗了洗。

死刑几天后的一个晚上，尼科尔和几个病人干了一架。随着夜幕的降临，她又一次感到非常困。当时还不到睡觉的时间，可她还是伸开了四肢躺到了床上。四五个病人走过来要把她从床上拉下来。她们刚一碰到她，她立刻挥起胳膊乱打起来。

她差点把一个家伙的鼻子给打扁了。有那么一会儿，她几乎把那五个女人全部按倒在地上。她们围攻了她三四分钟，一个人对付五个人，这是间不算短了。最后他们把她仰面按倒在地，可她竟能挣脱出一只脚来踢她们，于是她们把她的身体翻转过来，五个人一起压到她身上。有的坐在她胳膊上，有的坐在她大腿上，这五个人在她身上足足坐了二十分钟，尼科尔则骂个不停。突然，她意识到这一切是多么滑稽，便放声大笑起来，直笑得好象心都快要跳出来了。

唉，我隔壁的那个家伙放起屁来了，我他妈的从未听到过这种屁声。我原以为吉布斯是个放屁大王呢——可是和他相比吉布斯真是小巫见大巫！他的屁又响、又刺耳，简直像震耳的雷声——我从来没有听见过这样的屁，比割草机发动时的声音还要难听。

克利夫·邦纳斯非常了不起，他能够随时变换自己的情绪以迎合她的情绪，他俩可以一言不发地沉浸在相同的忧思之中。而她喜欢汤姆则是由于相反的原因。汤姆不是兴高采烈就是忧心忡忡，他那种强烈的情感可以帮她从自己的情绪中解脱出来。他不是个炸药包，而是只满脑肥肠的狗熊，他的身上总是散发着浓重的汉堡包味和法式土豆丝味。他和克利夫都很漂亮，她喜欢他们，不过她从来没有强迫自己去爱他们。说句实话，她喜欢他们就像喜欢巧克力棒棒糖一样，和他们作爱时她从来不想加里，几乎从来不想。

和他们的性生活与和加里的性横祸完全不同。加里一旦兴奋起来，他的热情立刻传入她的心田，她的情绪随之开始高涨，她好像变成了一只正在筑巢的傻乎乎的小鸟。所以，在她探望加里时，她从来没有想过汤姆、克利夫、巴雷特或者任何别的萍水相逢的男友。她的一个生命在地球上，另一个在火星上。

如果不是因为那些可怕的情绪，这也许不是最糟糕的生活方式。有时，她和加里之间发生过的事显得那样真实；可无论什么时候，她只要一想到死刑，一切全都变得不真实了。

死亡端坐在她的大脑里，或者不如说，是她坐在死亡里。她的身下是一把大沙发椅，她可以仰靠在椅背上。慢慢地，椅子开始倾斜，最后翻了个底朝天。她感到恶心，仿佛自己正坐在左冲右撞的狂欢游车里，不知道自己是激动还是马上要呕吐。甚至在这种想法消失后，她仍然感到自己在不停地旋转。
