This is the story of an author and his apprentice. It is the story of literary influence and tragedy. It is also the story of incarceration in America.Norman Mailer was writing The Executioners Song, his novel about condemned killer Gary Gilmore, when he struck up a correspondence with Jack Henry Abbott, Federal Prisoner 87098132. Over time, Abbott convinced the famous author that he was a talented writer who deserved another chance at freedom. With letters of support from Mailer and other literary elites of the day, Abbott was released on parole in 1981.With Mailers help, Abbott quickly became the literary it boy of New York City. But in a shocking turn of events, the day before a rave review of Abbotts book, In the Belly of the Beast, appeared in The New York Times, Abbott murdered a New York City waiter and fled to Mexico. Eerily, like Gary Gilmore in Mailers truelife novel, Abbott killed within six weeks of his release from prison.Now Jerome Loving explores the history of two of the most infamous books of the past 50 years, a fascinating story that has never before been told.
