Summary "In 1969 Kim Janik was a young man shining with promise - handsome, brilliant, studying at Harvard on a physics scholarship - and he was in love with Laurie Alberts, a troubled teenager from a wealthy Boston suburb. Twenty-five years later, when Kim's naked and decomposing body was discovered on the Wyoming prairie, one photograph - that of the Harvard junior and the seventeen-year-old - was found in his abandoned car. This book is Albert's attempt to piece together what happened in between." "A story of obsessive love, social upheaval, and the warring impulses of survival and self-destruction. Fault Lines moves beyond the limits of the traditional memoir into the realms of biography and literary journalism. With interviews and letters, Alberts augments her lucid reflections in an effort to comprehend Kim's life and death and her place in both."--Jacket
