Krvnikova pjesma

Norman Mailer

The novel is based on court documents and Mailer's interviews with serial killer Gary Gilmore. The book provides a panorama of America that is rarely seen. The poor side of the modern West, with its pickup trucks, its trailer homes in camps,

The novel follows Gilmore's life after his release from prison, his return to crime, his double murder, his trial, and his eventual execution by firing squad in Utah. Mailer pays particular attention to Gilmore's decision not to seek a pardon but to insist on the death penalty, which sparks a wide public debate about the right to die and the ethics of capital punishment.

The book is structured as a novel, but is based on extensive interviews with people associated with Gilmore and the victims, allowing Mailer to achieve a deep psychological analysis of the characters and society. The work explores themes of violence, love, redemption, and the complexity of the American justice system.

The Executioner's Song is considered one of the most important works of 20th-century American literature, and Mailer's writing style and approach to the subject matter left a deep mark on the genre of the non-fiction novel.
