{{Big|''The Executioner’s Song''. Boston: Little, Brown, 15 October; London: Hutchinson, 5 November. Nonfiction narrative on [[w:Gary Gilmore|Gary Gilmore]], 1056 pp., $16.95.}} | |||
Dedication: “To [[Norris Church Mailer|Norris]], to [[John Buffalo Mailer|John Buffalo]], and to Scott Meredith.” Discarded titles: ''Violence in America'', ''The Saint and the Psychopath'', ''American Virtue''. [[Norman Mailer|Mailer]]’s title is taken from his poem of the same title published in [[1964]] (see [[64.18]]), and then used as the title of chapter 15 of ''The Fight'' ([[75.12]]). In [[80.1]] Mailer explains this borrowing and also notes that the “old prison rhyme” that prefaces the book “is an old {{sic|diddy|expected=ditty|nolink=y}} from my movie ''Maidstone'' ([[71.28]]) which was just perfect for the book.” | Dedication: “To [[Norris Church Mailer|Norris]], to [[John Buffalo Mailer|John Buffalo]], and to Scott Meredith.” Discarded titles: ''Violence in America'', ''The Saint and the Psychopath'', ''American Virtue''.
