In 1964, Luke Karamozov (n馥 Ralph Searl) confessed to killing five men over a three-month period; following in his grisly footsteps was his younger brother, Tommy Searl, who was sentenced for the rape and murder of four young women in or around the brothers' hometown of Kalamazoo. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe events described in the book have the drama of fiction, but are very real events. Conrad Hilberry based his account on interviews with the two men, their friends, the woman whom they both married, and prison officials. Choosing to focus more on the texture of the men's lives than on the crimes themselves, Hilberry explores the movement of their thoughts and the ways in which they have each dealt with their brutal childhoods and their lives in prison.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eLuke Karamazov \u003c\/i\u003eis an unusually vivid and detailed study of two contrasting psychological types. Drawing on Ernest Becker's \u003ci\u003eDenial of Death, \u003c\/i\u003eHilberry presents Karamazov and his brother as extreme instances of behavior and states of mind that, surprisingly, are not uncommon. The result is a story that is at once bizarre and psychologically interesting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Conrad Hilberry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0814342884\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814342886\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wayne State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Conrad Hilberry","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926428942591,"sku":"9780814342886","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_de4e515c-1563-4749-8300-2472ee0ba250.jpg?v=1681083039","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/luke-karamazov-conrad-hilberry-9780814342886","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
