Three Month Fever: The Andrew Cunanan Story

Gary Indiana

Cliff Street Books, NY. 1999. First edition hardcover with die cut dust jacket. A small tear to the bottom spine portion of the dust jacket and some creasing, interior clean. An excellent copy.

From the publisher:

"In Three Month Fever, his first book-length work of nonfiction, Gary Indiana presents 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," "high-priced homosexual prostitute," "pervert," "master of disguise," "chameleon," 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"

Rest in Peace Gary Indiana, a true visionary genius. This book is a masterpiece of true crime lit - highly recommended.
