NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD WINNERWINNER OF THE LOS ANGELES TIMES BOOK PRIZE
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. 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 black sheep 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.

Cute and Comfy
Color: Multicolor B (5-pack), Size: Medium
These are cute and comfy with a great fit. True to size they are cool and comfortable for everyday wear. I was going to order more but the price went up so I'm just waiting for it to go back down to order again.

Not what I’d hoped
Color: Multicolor a (5-pack), Size: Small
The fabric is nice, soft without being overly bulky. The design was almost what I wanted. I’ve been trying to find underwear that won’t ride up and is comfortable to wear under leggings. The fabric has a LOT of stretch around the legs and deforms quickly. Then it rides up and wrinkles. Smaller leg openings might make the difference.

Great & Comfortable
Color: Multicolor B (5-pack), Size: X-Large, Color: Multicolor B (5-pack), Size: X-Large
I have bought 2 packs of this underwear. I love wearing them. They are very comfortable, and the size fits perfectly. I like most of the colors. The Bamboo Cool lettering on the front does come off after washing though. Otherwise the underwear has been great to wear.

Better than woxer imo
Color: Multicolor B (5-pack), Size: Large
I've been buying Woxers, but theyre super expensive for what youre getting. These are similar in feel and style so i switched over. Another nice thing is i dont have to deal with wedgies like i do with the woxers.
Theyre not perfect for wearing when its hot, youre still gunna sweat and these dont wick away sweat super well. But i havent seen many brands that do, and these are not the worst.
Im 5'7" and 145lbs and these are comfy and tight enough but not snug. They still leave a bit of indentation on the love handles. You CAN tell that youre wearing them under pant if they are tight.

Comfortable and cool. Does not ride up.
Color: 01-multicolour (4-pack), Size: Medium
Extremely comfortable. Stays cool. Ample coverage. Quality material. They do not creep up. I ordered a medium which I generally take a size small. I have reordered and will reorder again to add more colors to my collection.
