أنشودة الجلاد - الجزء الأول

Rate this book
«أنشودة الجلاد» أشبه بتحقيق صحافي في نحو ألف صفحة أرّخ من خلال ميلر، لحياة وموت المجرم الأميركي غيلمور الذي أعدم رمياً بالرصاص عام 1977، بعد ان خُيّر بين السجن مؤبداً والإعدام، فاختار الإعدام لأن «وطأته أخف من السجن المؤبد» وفق قول ميلر. والحقيقة ان ميلر إنما انطلق في كتابه هذا من ذلك الاختيار، ليضع نصّاً طويلاً مدهشاً، يصعب تصنيفه أدبياً أو فكرياً، حتى وإن كان ينتمي منطقياً الى الخانة نفسها التي ينتمي إليها «بدم بارد» لترومان كابوتي.

Norman Kingsley Mailer was an American novelist, journalist, essayist, poet, playwright, screenwriter, and film director.

Along with Truman Capote, Joan Didion, and Tom Wolfe, Mailer is considered an innovator of creative nonfiction, a genre sometimes called New Journalism, but which covers the essay to the nonfiction novel. He was awarded the Pulitzer Prize twice and the National Book Award once. In 1955, Mailer, together with Ed Fancher and Dan Wolf, first published The Village Voice, which began as an arts- and politics-oriented weekly newspaper initially distributed in Greenwich Village. In 2005, he won the Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters from The National Book Foundation.
