Description (by producer & GT in English only) :
PRAISE FOR MY FRIEND DAHMER
"A solid job. Putrid serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer's origins are explored in this fine book. Dig it - it'll hang you out to dry."
- James Ellroy, author of My Dark Places and L.A. Confidential

"If you want to read a heavy story about a disturbing teenager, My Friend Dahmer will certainly quench your dark little desires. But this book is about a lot of other things that matter much, much more: the institutionalized weirdness of the suburban seventies, what it means to be friends with someone you don't really like, a cogent explanation as to why terrible things happen, and a means for feeling sympathy toward those who don't seem to deserve it."
-Chuck Klosterman, author of Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs: A Low Culture Manifesto and The Visible Man
