Who is John Wayne Gacy from Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs: A Low Culture Manifesto and what is their importance?

John Wayne Gacy is a serial killer. Known most for dressing as a clown for children's birthday parties, Gacy often raped and sodomized young boys before killing them. His crimes were, according to his own statements, sexually based and not violence based. He never harmed animals growing up or other human beings until his first kill. Gacy was an amateur artist, and sought to sell his paintings from prison. he was helped by Eric Nuzum, who later gave an interview about Gacy to Klosterman. According to Nuzum, Gacy liked popular culture such as action movies, and was not a bright individual. Nuzum admits that after getting to know Gacy, he could see him being the monster he was. Klosterman finds men like Gacy a symptom of a hyper-reality based culture, and sees their crimes as the darkest, since they are random and without logic or reason.
