		Appearing on the stage amid the songs were not dancers, but rather an executioner holding a sharp knife in his hands.

		The Executioner's Song is a work of unprecedented force.
		Is "The Executioner's Song" a novel or a piece of journalism?
		Only one example of this phenomenon is in the treatment of the Gary/Nicole "love story." Nicole, a nineteen-year-old, much-abused woman child, surrendered everything to the much older man (Gilmore was in his thirties) who claimed to love her.

		Take Florida's hooded executioner: Hired through the classifieds, the successful applicant is collected at an agreed-upon spot, hooded until he or she is done with work, and finally deposited, with a check for $150, at the pickup location.
		It follows from this that the death-row love bond may arise from the executioner's and condemned's sense of being on the same side of a destructive force beyond their control or comprehension, one that is bearing down on both of them and stripping away their lives.
		The relationship between the executioner and the condemned, however, is fraught with an undeniable and undeniably yucky intimacy.

	ToxicUniverse.com - Mailer, Norman - 1979 - The Executioner's Song Books Review
		The Executioner's Song is divided into two parts: "Western Voices" (the crimes and the trial) and "Eastern Voices" (the deathwatch and execution).
		I've read The Executioner's Song twice—the first time in 1981, two years after its publication and four years after Gary Mark Gilmore's death by a Utah firing squad; the second time was at the turn of our century.
		Not only does it make a good companion piece to The Executioner's Song, but Shot in the Heart is one of the best-written memoirs to come out of the cathartic, tell-all years of the 1990s.

		Singing the Executioner's Song / McCabe's macabre tale of murder by a lovable loser
		Songs often act as lyrical shorthand for the complex tragedies that dominate his fiction.
		McCabe uses songs as structure in the novel "Emerald Germs of Ireland": Every chapter is a macabre "song tale." The tales focus on presumed murderer Pat McNab's visitors -- or, rather, their demise.

	Steven Wu's Book Reviews: Executioner's Song, The (Norman Mailer)
		Executioner's Song is Norman Mailer's award-winning "true life novel" about the nine months between Gary Gilmore's release on parole and his eventual execution.
		It is an exceedingly, perhaps excessively, detailed account of those months, with all sorts of minutiae about the day-to-day lives of these people, up to and following Gilmore's shocking murders of two complete strangers one bloody evening.
		All you need to know about what happens afterward is that Gilmore was eventually executed--and the world is a better place for it.

	Paul (WebBible Encyclopedia) - ChristianAnswers.Net
		The trial ended: Paul was condemned, and delivered over to the executioner.
		The soldiers who kept guard over Paul were of course changed at frequent intervals, and thus he had the opportunity of preaching the gospel to many of them during these "two whole years," and with the blessed result of spreading among the imperial guards, and even in Caesar's household, an interest in the truth (Phil.
		This privilege was accorded to him, no doubt, because he was a Roman citizen, and as such could not be put into prison without a trial.

	Metal Express
		The last song on the album called “Lethal Injection - Part One: The Executioner” and “Part two: Crying to God," is probably the worst on the album.
		Patrick Wire could have done the song better himself, because it’s really an enchanting and sweet song.
		This is the band's third album, and it’s clear they’re all good musicians to have made it this far, but it is a bit confusing trying to put the band and this album into a certain genre.

	Eye - BOOKS: Shot in the Heart -- Mikal Gilmore - 08.18.94
		Famed murderer Gary Gilmore's death-wish in the late '70s -- immortalized in Norman Mailer's The Executioner's Song and The Adverts' single "Gary Gilmore's Eyes" -- choked the American consciousness and became a pock on that country's history.
		Shot In The Heart, the long-awaited book by Gary's baby brother (and a Rolling Stone writer and editor) Mikal, is the story of the origins of Gary's crimes, and a paean to Oscar Wilde's quip about families not having the foggiest notion of how to live or when to die.
		Shot In The Heart is not a defence of Gary Gilmore's crimes, it's more a cry out against two powerful American institutions -- the family and the prison systems; everyone wants to know what goes into the making of a murder, but only after the crime has been committed.
