Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

In this Pulitzer Prize-winning classic, a convicted killer becomes the first prisoner to be executed in the United States. The Executioner's Song follows the true story of cold-blooded murderer Gary Gilmore, who, after being tried and convicted, insisted on being executed for his crimes. To do so, he fought a system intent on keeping him alive long after it sentenced him to death. Norman Mailer tells Gilmore's story with impressive authority and compassion. The Executioner's Song is a trip down the wrong side of the tracks, right into the heart of American loneliness and violence–it is impossible to put down and difficult to forget.

The Gladiators

Norm Provan and Arthur Summons on rugby league's most iconic moment and its continuing legacy

By: Norman Tasker

The story behind the 1963 battle between St George and Western Suburbs and the image that defined rugby league. From the men who were at its centre and their sometimes controversial thoughts on the game today. When rival captains Norm Provan and Arthur Summons came together in a momentary embrace at the end of the 1963 Rugby League grand final, they could never have imagined the tradition they were building. They became the subject of one of sport's most enduring images, and ultimately the centrepiece of League's premiership trophy. Fifty years on, that moment is still celebrated as an iconic reflection of the game and its people. It is also a symbol of the changing face of sport, and of the role that sport has played in the Australian way of life. This book traces the legacy of Norm Provan and Arthur Summons and the champions of their time. In their own words, they tell how the game was, how it has changed, and where it is headed. They bring insight that only time and experience can fashion, and they do so with jaunty good humour. Provan and Summons remain two of the most recognised players in the game. They were champion internationals in their own right, and they each went on to become coaches of high achievement. Provan is perhaps the most successful player of all time, having played in ten grand finals and won the lot. They were the fiercest of rivals through three successive grand finals. Yet through the image that has immortalised them, they have become lifelong friends. This is their story and their sometimes provocative reflections on what has happened to Rugby League since.

Life After Life

By: Norman Parker

Norman Parker has spent over half his life in prison. A double murderer, he mixed at close quarters with some of Britain's most hardened criminals: the Krays, the Richardsons, and the Great Train Robbers. After 24 continuous years in prison, he was finally released into a world that had changed more than he could have imagined. But life on the outside was tough, as Norman re-established himself not only as a bestselling author, but also as a face on the underworld crime scene. Then the one thing happened that he had been waiting for in all the years he had been inside—he fell hopelessly in love. The relationship was a fiery and tempestuous one, and one destined to end in disaster. Her life was fuelled by an overpowering drug habit that led them to associate with the dark underbelly of London life, and in a cruel twist of fate, she became victim to suicide pact serial-killer. What happened next almost defies belief.
