My Friend Dahmer: Derf Backderf (Graphic Biographies)

Product Information

This is an intimate portrait of a serial killer's childhood experiences. It is not a complete biography but a glimpse into one person's experience and his understanding of how an awkward classmate developed into one of the most renowned serial killers in the world. Instead, what was more infuriating is this is essentially a tale of some nondescript dudes who are amused by a peer's offbeat behavior in high school. Bizarre, I know. But this friendship (if you can call it that, and I wouldn't if you're concerned with accuracy) is a purely superficial distraction infusing the story with absolutely nothing of substance.

My memories of [Dahmer] are of the tormented kid spiraling into madness, not the monster who later committed those horrific crimes. I remember him as bullied and shunned, much as I was. A quiet young boy who devolved helplessly into a twisted soul."

But what would have changed the way things turned out for Jeffery Dahmer and his 17 victims? We'll never know. I can't help thinking There is much speculation in the book about what could have "saved" Dahmer. The author maintains that the adults in his life were too "incomprehensively clueless and/or indifferent." I agree with the indifferent part. One of my son's teachers once told me, "The quiet one's tend to get ignored." And I can tell a difference in my son's friends. The one's whose parents play a significant part in their lives are more outgoing. They look you in the eyes when they speak. This subject is extremely lurid but My Friend Dahmer is sober and thoughtful. At the heart of the story is the problem that you really never do know what’s happening with your son, your friend, your brother, your husband, your colleague, your boss, your father, your sister, your mother, your partner.
