Description

 							A USA Today Top 10 Best Book of Winter 2014
  
  An In Cold Blood for our time, a chilling, compulsive
story of a writer unwittingly caught in the wake of a grifter-turned-murderer.
  
  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.
  
  Kirn'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?
To answer these and other questions, Kirn attends his old friend’s murder trial and uses it as an occasion to
reflect on both their tangled personal relationship and the surprising literary sources of Rockefeller's evil. This
investigation of the past climaxes in a tense jailhouse reunion with a man whom Kirn realizes he barely knew—a
predatory, sophisticated genius whose life, in some respects, parallels his own and who may have intended to take
another victim during his years as a fugitive from justice: Kirn himself.
  
  Combining confessional memoir,
true crime reporting, and cultural speculation, Blood Will Out is a Dreiser-esque tale of self-invention, upward
mobility, and intellectual arrogance. It exposes the layers of longing and corruption, ambition and self-delusion
beneath the Great American con.
  
  Amazon.com Review
  
  An Amazon Best Book of the Month, March
2014: An epigraph from Patricia Highsmith’s The Talented Mr. Ripley says much about what’s to come in
Walter Kirn’s remarkable confessional: “He was versatile, and the world was wide!” When Kirn first
met Clark Rockefeller, he was smitten by the man’s wealth and eccentricities. Coming off a failed marriage (to
the daughter of Thomas McGuane and Margot Kidder), Kirn was a bit of a wreck, as was Rockefeller. The two men were drawn
to each other. As the friendship progressed--into some uneasy terrain--Kirn ignored the clues “spread out for
[him] to read,” and plowed ahead to become a confidant and enabler. Except, it turns out, Clark wasn’t a
Rockefeller at all. Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter was, as Kirn puts it, “the most prodigious serial imposter in
recent history.” He was also a murderer. So what did that make Kirn? “A fool,” he admits, “a
stubborn fool.” This is a compulsively readable, can’t-look-away book and, ultimately, a brave piece of
work. Kirn has laid himself bare: his failed marriage, his Ritalin reliance, his misguided allegiance to a sociopath. In
exposing his own “ignorance and vanity,” what Kirn has really crafted here is the story of a bamboozled
writer who for fifteen years ignored the big story right under his nose; who, in trusting his imposter friend,
“violated my storyteller’s oath.” With Blood Will Out, Kirn has impressively restored his
storyteller’s credentials. --Neal Thompson
  
  Review
  
  “Kirn is such a good writer
and Gerhartsreiter such a baroquely, demonically colorful subject, you could imagine this being a fine read had they no
personal connection. That they did, however, elevates Blood Will Out to another level: Kirn lards his story with detail
while reviewing his own psyche, in an attempt to discover how he—a journalist!—could have been so fooled.
The irony? With all due respect to Kirn's skills as a novelist, it is hard to conceive of any fictionalized version of
''Clark Rockefeller'' being as compelling as the real thing.” (Clark Collis - Entertainment Weekly)
  
 
“This stunning book dissects psychopathy, the perverse manners of the Internet generation, art, money, and the
very nature of belief. At its core, it brilliantly portrays one man's journey through fraudulence to a point of stern
resolve. It's tabloid tell-all journalism and Old Testament rebuke. It is of a piece with Roethke: it tells us that the
abyss is just a step down the stair.” (James Ellroy)
  
  “In Blood Will Out Walter Kirn
brilliantly and with remarkable eloquence dissects one of the great impostors—and along the way delves into the
fraudulence within that made him so susceptible to the other man's lies. A gripping performance!” (Edmund
White)
  
  “Though Blood Will Out is written with Walter Kirn's usual stylistic verve, insight, and
imagination it is actually a disturbing account of a one-sided, naively misguided 'friendship' with a dangerous
sociopath. Here is a memoir in the guise of a 'true crime story'—a double portrait of writer and subject in which
the subject is partially erased even as the writer evokes the considerable tools of his imagination to reconstruct him
and his own motive in the bizarre relationship.” (Joyce Carol Oates)
  
  “A Hitchcockian
psychological thriller and one of the most honest and affecting memoirs I've read. It is superbly written, each sentence
a wonder, each page deepening my appreciation of Kirn’s precise observation of human nature.” (Amy Tan)
  
  “Blood Will Out is a deep meditation on wealth and class and anybody's self-destructive ability to get
conned by a blackbelt liar. A must-read.” (Mary Karr)
  
  “This scorching account of a friendship
with a man who overturned the author's faith in his own judgment owes its strength to the author's deep understanding of
'the fathomless human genius for credulity, wishful thinking, and self deception,' starting with his own. Kirn parses
the ways in which a highly intelligent writer got caught up with a character more compelling than any he could create,
such that this book has the power and insight and raw energy of an instant classic.” (Amy Hempel)
  
 
“There is no finer guide to the American berserk than Walter Kirn.” (Gary Shteyngart)
  
 
“The parallels with Patricia Highsmith’s The Talented Mr. Ripley are not lost on Kirn, who spends as much
time trying to understand how he and others fell under Gerhartstreiter’s spell as he does relating the primary
tale of the criminal himself. Kirn’s candor, ear for dialogue, and crisp prose make for a masterful true crime
narrative that is impossible to put down. The book deserves to become a classic.” (Publishers Weekly, Starred
