The Book of Matt and Small Town Fear and Loathing

The Matthew Shepard case turns out to have been a lot more complex than most people have been led to believe. Jimenez seems to have uncovered exactly the sort of seedy underbelly in Laramie, Wyoming that's usually reserved for basic cable dramas. Matthew was, of course, a victim of it but his relationship with his attackers was a lot grayer than a simple hate crime. I'll definitely give this a read, mostly because it sounds like top-shelf investigative journalism and a microcosm of so much.
