Excellent interview on &#039;&#039;The Executioner’s Song&#039;&#039; ([[79.14]]), in which [[Norman Mailer|Mailer]] discusses his narrative stance; Gilmore’s character and appeal; the source for his title and the “old prison rhyme” prefacing the book; Joan Didion’s review in the &#039;&#039;New York Times Book Review&#039;&#039; (7 November 1979); and Truman Capote’s &#039;&#039;In Cold Blood&#039;&#039;, which Mailer calls “beautifully written. It had to be because I don’t think that the two guys that Truman had in the book were terribly interesting.” Capote commented on Mailer and the “nonfiction novel” in the preface to &#039;&#039;Music for Chameleons&#039;&#039; (New York: Random House). Rpt: &#039;&#039;San Francisco Review of Books&#039;&#039;, February, 6–9, 26–27, 31.
