Reseña del editor
Mikal Gilmore comes from an extraordinary family, a family haunted by death, brooding on violence and fixated by its own legends. His brother was the murderer, Gary Gilmore, shot to death by a firing squad in Utah in 1977 and the subject of Norman Mailer's subsequent novel and film, "The Executioner's Song". By then his eldest brother had already died of alcoholism and stab wounds and the third brother was to disappear over the horizon, his fate unknown. It is possible that his brothers' fascination with lives of violence was inherited from his mother's fears. Bessie Gilmore believed that the family was haunted. She was taken as a child to witness a public hanging of a murderer, and the event fascinated and terrified her for the rest of her life. She believed that public killings unleashed the demons of the hanged murderers and that these demons flew from the gaping mouths of the dying men into somebody in the crowd. It was her belief that such a spirit had sprung into her. This a real-life family saga, but it is not only about violence and death. It is also the story of how one son preserved himself from his family and the emotional cost of remaining separate from them. This son is the author of the book.

Paperback. Condición: Good. Gary Gilmore, the infamous murderer immortalized by Norman Mailer in The Ex ecutioner's Song, campaigned for his own death and was executed by firing s quad in 1977. Writer Mikal Gilmore is his younger brother. In Shot in the H eart, he tells the stunning story of their wildly dysfunctional family: the ir mother, a blacksheep daughter of unforgiving Mormon farmers; their fathe r, a drunk, thief, and con man. It was a family destroyed by a multigenerat ional history of child abuse, alcoholism, crime, adultery, and murder. Mika l, burdened with the guilt of being his father's favorite and the shame of being Gary's brother, gracefully and painfully relates a murder tale "from inside the house where murder is born. a house that, in some ways, he has ] never been able to leave." Shot in the Heart is the history of an America n family inextricably tied up with violence, and the story of how the child ren of this family committed murder and murdered themselves in payment for a long lineage of ruin. Haunting, harrowing, and profoundly affecting, "Sho t in the Heart "exposes and explores a dark vein of American life that most of us would rather ignore. It is a book that will leave no reader unchange d. Nº de ref. del artículo: RWARE0000062729
