Who is Jeffrey Dahmer from Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs: A Low Culture Manifesto and what is their importance?

Jeffrey Dahmer is a serial killer / cannibal. An alcoholic, self hating homosexual, Dahmer was convicted of killing and partially eating young boys. Dahmer, as a youth, would drink heavily often, and was made fun of on a consistent basis. His few friends would pay him to pretend to have cerebral palsy at a local mall, just for laughs. A friend, John Backderf, explains to Klosterman in the book that had anyone been paying attention, it was clear that Dahmer was disturbed and needed assistance. However, he also notes that all sympathy for Dahmer left when he began killing others. Klosterman finds serial killers a symbol of modern culture.
