EGZEMPLARZ EKSPOZYCYJNY.
On July 24, 1984, Dan and Ron Lafferty cut the throats of their brother Allans wife, Brenda, and baby daughter, Erica, fulfilling part of a revelation Ron received from God. Ron is now on death row. Brother Dan, serving two life sentences for the murders, has never denied killing his sister-in-law and niece but has absolutely no remorse. I was doing Gods will, he says, which is not a crime. Krakauer, best known for his adventure writing in Outside magazine and his books Into the Wild (1995) and Into Thin Air (1997), has shifted gears to tackle issues of faith in this true-crime/religious expose, which delves deep into the heart of Mormon fundamentalism, where revelations from God are commonplace and polygamy not only still exists but is a matter of religious duty. Alternating between the bloodier aspects of the origins of the Mormon Church (Joseph Smith Jr.s lynching in Nauvoo, Illinois, and the Mountain Meadows Massacre in Utah) and some of the more extreme aspects of todays Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints (fraud, incest, and murder), Krakauers account is gripping yet deeply disturbing. Not only does he interview Dan, an admitted murderer, but also he talks with former child brides and victims of incest. Debbie Palmer, raised to be an obedient wife in FLDS, married at 14 and became a stepmother to 31 kids, including her own stepmother, which made her a stepmother to her stepmother, and thus a step grandmother to herself.
