刽子手之歌

Mailer’s deep dive into the lives of the people involved adds layers to the narrative. I'm curious whether this approach was planned from the start or evolved during research.

The detailed legal proceedings are intense but also quite lengthy. Was this deliberate to build tension, or did it challenge the story’s momentum?

The book covers so many facets—personal stories, legal battles, and societal issues. I wonder what guided the focus and what was left out.
