About This Item
New York:: Cliff Street Books / Harper Collins,, (1999). Hardcover first edition -. Near fine in glossy illustrated boards, no dust jacket. . First edition. Indiana's first book-length work of nonfiction, an unusual true crime story in which he immerses himself in the mind of a killer. He depicts the 1997 killing spree of Andrew Cunanan as "a peculiarly contemporary artifact, an alloy in which reality and myth have been inseparably combined. The case generated an astonishing sequence of news reports in which the suspect became a 'monster,' 'serial killer,' 'pervert,' 'master of disguise,' and so forth. In reality, this figure of dread bore little resemblance to the scary sociopath of legend. In following Cunanan's 'trail of death,' Indiana presents a riveting, fully realized portrait of a very bright, even brilliant young man whom people liked. He had charisma, great looks, and money that he spent very freely on others. He was a sympathetic listener with a phenomenal memory for names, faces, and virtually anything he read or saw. But he didn't fit in anywhere, and he couldn't solve the problem of how to live. The two people he thought might love him for himself didn't, and he ended up killing them. . . in Miami he found himself trapped, the very places where he expected to 'blend in' were informed about who he was and what he looked like. It was isolation he could not deal with--and that led to his total disintegration and the death of Gianni Versace." Illustrated with photographs.
