Descriere magazin:
NATIONAL BESTSELLER 2013 ALA/YALSA Alex Award 2014 Revelation Award at Angouleme 2015 ALA/YALSA Alex Award (Excellence in Narrative Nonfiction) You only think you know this story. In 1991, Jeffrey Dahmer--the most notorious serial killer since Jack the Ripper--seared himself into the American consciousness. To the public, Dahmer was a monster who committed unthinkable atrocities. To Derf Backderf, "Jeff" was a much more complex figure: a high school friend with whom he had shared classrooms, hallways, and car rides. In My Friend Dahmer, a haunting and original graphic novel, writer-artist Backderf creates a surprisingly sympathetic portrait of a disturbed young man struggling against the morbid urges emanating from the deep recesses of his psyche--a shy kid, a teenage alcoholic, and a goofball who never quite fit in with his classmates. With profound insight, what emerges is a Jeffrey Dahmer that few ever really knew, and one readers will never forget. Also available by Derf Backderf, Trashed . Find teaching guides for My Friend Dahmer and other titles at abramsbooks.com/resources. Coming in 2017: My Friend Dahmer will become a major motion picture from director Marc Meyers. Praise for My Friend Dahmer: "The tone is sympathetic and enraged (\'Where were the damn adults?\'), while not excusing or making the story unduly fascinating. Backderf\'s writing is impeccably honest in not exculpating his own misdeeds . . . and quietly horrifying. A small, dark classic." --Publishers Weekly (starred review)? "One of the best graphic novels I\'ve read this year." -- USA Today\'s PopCandy "One of the most thought-provoking comics released in a long time." -- Slate.com? "Carefully researched and sourced with ample back matter, Backderf\'s tragic chronicle of what shouldn\'t have been is a real butt-kicker for educators and youth counselors as well as peers of other potential Dahmers. Highly recommended for professionals as well as true crime readers." --Library Journal "This isnt a cautionary tale. Its insight sharedinsight arriving too late to save Dahmers victims, let alone Jeff himself, but perhaps soon enough to remind both teens and their caretakers that questioning peculiar behavior might be a better tack than ignoring or exploiting it." -- School Library Journal? "Fortunately, cartoonist Derf Backderf isn\'t one to avoid the troubling, even terrifying, truths that lurk in the dark recesses of that notorious serial killer\'s early lifeand modern American life itself." -- Foreword Reviews "A powerful, unsettling use of the graphic medium to share a profoundly disturbing story. . . . An exemplary demonstration of the transformative possibilities of graphic narrative." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Masterful. . . a rich tale full of complexity and sensitivity . . . There\'s something about Dahmer\'s life and crimes that seems almost crafted for treatment in the murky world of comix. Yet it\'s empathy and nuance, not gore, that put My Friend Dahmer alongside Alison Bechdel\'s Fun Home and David Small\'s Stitches in the annals of illustrated literature." --Cleveland Plain Dealer "A new classic of the graphic novel genre. . . . A moving book that qualifies as one of the great graphic novels, a work of art." --Creative Loafing "A well-told, powerful story. Backderf is quite skilled in using comics to tell this tale of a truly weird and sinister 1970s adolescent world."?--R. Crumb? "Anyone who opens My Friend Dahmer to satisfy a morbid curiosity, and likewise anyone who expects to find no more than a cynical publishing venture here, is bound for disappointment. It is a horrifying read, yes, not so much for what it reveals about the sad early (and inevitably terrible) life of Jeffrey Dahmer, but because of what it reveals about the bland emotional landscape of Middle America, in this vision a petri dish for psychoses in many degrees and forms.?Backderf\'s odd stylization, with figures that look like organic robots, is a perfect vehicle for this conception. His graphic approach is grotesque, droll, and it rags on reality as masses of kids knew and
