04.07: Walter Kirn
2014-03-18 00:36:11| Powells Books Events Calendar
In the summer of 1998, Walter Kirn set out on a peculiar, fateful errand: to personally deliver a crippled hunting dog from his home in Montana to the New York apartment of one Clark Rockefeller, a secretive young banker and art collector who had adopted the dog over the Internet. Thus began a 15-year relationship that drew Kirn deep into the fun-house world of an outlandish, eccentric son of privilege who ultimately would be unmasked as a brazen serial impostor, child kidnapper, and brutal murderer. Combining confessional memoir, true crime reporting, and cultural speculation, Blood Will Out (Liveright) is a Dreiser-esque tale of self-invention, upward mobility, and intellectual arrogance.
