Blood Will Out
Blood Will Out | Walter Kirin
5 posts | 14 read | 8 to read
In the summer of 1998, Walter Kirn - then a young novelist struggling with fatherhood and a dissolving marriage - set out on a peculiar, fateful errand: to personally deliver a crippled hunting dog from an animal shelter in Montana to the New York apartment of one Clark Rockefeller, a secretive young banker and art collector. Thus began a fifteen-year relationship that drew Kirn deep into the fun-house world of an outlandish, eccentric son of privilege who, one day, would be shockingly unmasked as a brazen serial impostor and brutal double-murderer. This is a one-of-a-kind story of an innocent man duped by a real-life Mr Ripley, taking us on a bizarre and haunting journey from the private club rooms of Manhattan to the courtrooms and prisons of Los Angeles.

It's a weirdly chilly day for August! I've got a fuzzy blanket, a hot cuppa, and a stack of books to rotate through this morning.

Last night, some friends and I went to see Rainbow Kitten Surprise. They were sooo good live, I'm still dancing just thinking about their set. 💃

DrSabrinaMoldenReads Beautiful setting. It has been in the 90s and above for the past couple of weeks where I live 4mo

This book was so well done. Kirn took a true crime story about a fascinating character who conned and even murdered but because he was also fooled by him, he had a truly personal experience. Kirn let himself be examined by others and himself as all the lies became apparent. How did he miss all the signs? Really a tremendous memoir along with investigative true crime. Highly recommend.

What is a writer? Walter tells us, accurately so.
