Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1980, the Playboy writing award in 1979, and a finalist for the 1980 National Book Award, this true crime novel (a genre since Truman Capote's In Cold Blood [1965]) tells of the events in the life of Gary Gilmore leading up to the crimes, the murders he committed, his trial, his decision not to appeal, and finally his execution in 1977. The author based the book on numerous interviews with Gilmore's family and friends and the families and friends of his victims.
