Provides a fascinating glimpse into the mind of a killer that explores the real life of Andrew Cunanan, from his childhood to his troubled adulthood, and the cultural phenomena--serial killer and media celebrity--that led to the murder of Gianni Versace and the eventual death of Cunanan. 75,000 first printing. Tour.

Review:
Andrew Cunanan had already killed four people when he shot Gianni Versace, notes Gary Indiana, but since "only media celebrities are considered to have actual existence" in American culture, it took the murder of the famous fashion designer to make Cunanan's story--which was quickly packaged as a "narrative overripe with tabloid evil"-- worth noticing. Three-Month Fever deflates the hype surrounding the case, using a variety of experimental journalistic techniques to explore Cunanan's personality and recreate his frame of mind at the time of the killings. Far from being a "homicidal homosexual" aberration, Indiana says, Cunanan's life before the murders was actually rather mundane, even in its extremes. Indiana also easily distinguishes between these extremes and hysterical fabrications by the press. For example, Indiana cites the restaurant tabs charged to Cunanan's credit card to debunk the theory that use of crystal meth was a factor in the murders: "One indisputable characteristic of people on crystal meth is they don't eat. People on steroids, however, eat plenty. If we could put the crystal meth together with testosterone ... but we can't. A mountain of sushi rules it out."
About the Author:
Gary Indiana is a novelist, playwright, critic, essayist, filmmaker, and artist. Hailed by the Guardian as "one of the most important chroniclers of the modern psyche," and by the Observer as "one of the most woefully underappreciated writers of the last 30 years," he published a memoir, I Can Give You Anything But Love, in 2015.
