Sinopsis
Gary Gilmore, the infamous murderer immortalized by Norman Mailer in The Executioner's Song, campaigned for his own death and was executed by firing squad in 1977. Writer Mikal Gilmore is his younger brother. In Shot in the Heart, he tells the stunning story of their wildly dysfunctional family: their mother, a blacksheep daughter of unforgiving Mormon farmers; their father, a drunk, thief, and con man. It was a family destroyed by a multigenerational history of child abuse, alcoholism, crime, adultery, and murder. Mikal, 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 American family inextricably tied up with violence, and the story of how the children of this family committed murder and murdered themselves in payment for a long lineage of ruin. Haunting, harrowing, and profoundly affecting, Shot 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 unchanged.From the Trade Paperback edition.

Sobre Canaltown Booktraders
Quality Books, Good Prices, Great Service. What you look for in an Antiquarian Book Dealer. Over twenty five years as a Merchant, and forty five years as a Collector. We have been purveyors of fine books since 1994. Thousands of readers and collectors have browsed our store in the Hudson River Valley, nestled between the foot of the Catskills and the head of the Shawangunk Ridge in beautiful Rosendale NY. We closed our doors, after 5 years on Main Street, to devote more time to civic endeavors and community projects. We couldn't let go of our true love though, books. So we continue to do what we enjoy. Our specialty is locating those "impossible to find" books that you loved as a child or haven't seen in years. We will also appraise your collection, from a single volume to an entire library. Contact us for details. In the meantime, browse and have fun, and rest assured, you are getting your books from the most professional Antiquarian book dealer on the net. Thanks for looking! Patrick and Ann
