Blood Will Out: The True Story of a Murder, a Mystery, and a Masquerade by Walter Kirn
4.0
A tickling read. What engrossing characters. Kirn, Clark Rockefeller, even the supporting ‘cast.’ Blood Will Out pulls you in to a quirky world of mystery and the (darkly humourous) naiveté of human beings.
This book is as much about Walter Kirn as it is about Clark Rockefeller, if not more so. But much more importantly it is about how we are prone to see what we want to in people. Furthermore, the risk in doing so is to create uncertainty in, and of, ourselves.
In alluding to the story’s resonance with the writing of the greatest psychologist himself, Dostoevsky, Kirn has written himself onto the same field.
