SUMMARY:Walter Kirn reads from his latest Blood Will Out
DESCRIPTION:In the summer of 1998\, Walter Kirn—then an aspiring novelist struggling with impending fatherhood and a dissolving marriage—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 fifteen-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.\nKirn’s one-of-a-kind story of being duped by a real-life Mr. Ripley takes us on a bizarre and haunting journey from the posh private clubrooms of Manhattan to the hard-boiled courtrooms and prisons of Los Angeles. As Kirn uncovers the truth about his friend\, a psychopath masquerading as a gentleman\, he also confronts hard truths about himself. Why\, as a writer of fiction\, was he susceptible to the deception of a sinister fantasist whose crimes\, Kirn learns\, were based on books and movies? What are the hidden psychological links between the artist and the con man?
