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 [this story], 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."--Amazon.com.]]></description><link>https://mysapl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S172C504471</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://mysapl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S172C504471</guid><category><![CDATA[GRAPHIC_NOVEL]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Backderf, Derf]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://mysapl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/504471172</comments><format>GRAPHIC_NOVEL</format><subtitle>A Graphic Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781419702167/MC.GIF&amp;client=sanap&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Trashed]]></title><description><![CDATA[Graphic novel based on the author's time spent working on a garbage truck.]]></description><link>https://mysapl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S172C461017</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://mysapl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S172C461017</guid><category><![CDATA[GRAPHIC_NOVEL]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Backderf, Derf]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2015 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://mysapl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/461017172</comments><format>GRAPHIC_NOVEL</format><subtitle>A Graphic Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781419714535/MC.GIF&amp;client=sanap&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Kent State]]></title><description><![CDATA[On May 4, 1970, the Ohio National Guard gunned down unarmed college students protesting the Vietnam War at Kent State University. In a deadly barrage of 67 shots, 4 students were killed and 9 shot and wounded. It was the day America turned guns on its own children - a shocking event burned into our national memory. A few days prior, 10-year-old Derf Backderf saw those same Guardsmen patrolling his nearby hometown, sent in by the governor to crush a trucker strike. Using the journalism skills he employed on 'My Friend Dahmer' and 'Trashed', Backderf has conducted extensive interviews and research to explore the lives of these four young people and the events of those four days in May, when the country seemed on the brink of tearing apart. 'Kent State: Four Dead in Ohio', which will be published in time for the 50th anniversary of the tragedy, is a moving and troubling story about the bitter price of dissent-as relevant today as it was in 1970.]]></description><link>https://mysapl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S172C582903</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://mysapl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S172C582903</guid><category><![CDATA[GRAPHIC_NOVEL]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Backderf, Derf]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://mysapl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/582903172</comments><format>GRAPHIC_NOVEL</format><subtitle>Four Dead in Ohio</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781419734847/MC.GIF&amp;client=sanap&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
