LEVIN: I has horrified when I saw it, but in a way, I was also glad that he showed himself for what he really was, because, you know, there had been so much said about his altar boy image, his preppie image.
LEVIN: No. Of course, you know, Jennifer's pictures, which I didn't look at, but everybody else did, showed the deep cuts on her throat, and I mean, this was no accident.
LEVIN: The condition was he goes right to their jail, except he gets one night to spend at home with his mother -- I don't know how that fit in there, but he did go home that night with his mother.

For the Levins, the prospect of Chambers returning to the city where he killed their 18-year-old daughter is overwhelming.
Levin's sister, Danielle Roberts, said she was "haunted by a feeling of dread" over Chambers' departure from the Auburn Correctional Facility.
The Levin slaying, splashed across the city's tabloids in the summer of '86, was a made-for-TV movie waiting to happen - a glimpse into the lives of callow youths on the Upper East Side bar scene.

 Jennifer Levin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jennifer Levin (May 21, 1968 - August 26, 1986)[1] was an eighteen-year-old woman who was killed by nineteen-year-old Robert Chambers in New York City's Central Park on 26 August 1986.

But this is somebody who's had no remorse since 1986, when he killed Jennifer Levin, a friend of his, with his bare hands, and mocked her in the criminal justice system throughout.
There was no premeditation before Chambers and Jennifer Levin went into the park that night, and the intent to kill her was formed in a matter of seconds to a matter of minutes, and so manslaughter was what he was ultimately convicted of, by a plea, after the jury was unable to reach a verdict.
People were only interested in blaming Jennifer in the headlines, had things in New York like, Jennifer courted her own death, just ludicrous statements that I don't think we'd believe about a healthy, loving young woman today.

Jennifer Levin's family is outraged that "Preppy Killer" Robert Chambers is reportedly shopping his tale - and wants to grant an exclusive TV interview in exchange for a private jet to whisk him away from the expected media onslaught when he's freed from prison this week.

 The Digital Hausfrau: ellen levin got a life sentence   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
According to Chambers, his all-the-money-in-the-world-ain't-going-to- buy-him-out-of-Hell defense attorney, and the screaming cover of the New York Post, they engaged in "rough" sex and he accidentally killed Jennifer Levin in a fit of pain when she squeezed his balls a bit too hard.
According to then ADA Diane Fairstein and a host of experts, Chambers, a sociopathic misfit if ever there was one, took Jennifer Levin to the Park, strangled her for kicks, and then sat on a wall behind the Metropolitan Museum of Art and watched as her body was discovered and removed.
He served every day of his sentence in prison (I don't know where he served, but surely hope it was Em City) and spent three years in solitary confinement because he had a hard time coloring in the lines.

Linda Fairstein: Chambers' lawyer knew that Jennifer's family had given the police a phone book that was kept in the family kitchen because it had the phone numbers of all her friends.
Linda Fairstein: I think that the greatest tragedy of course involving Chambers is Jennifer Levin's death, there is no amount of time in jail that can do anything to bring to life the loving daughter and sister that family lost.
The fact that he has had more than 20 episodes involving drug use in which he was caught while in jail, suggests that he comes out of jail with the very same problems that caused him to be there.

At the same time, the novel avoids getting too bogged down in depression and sorrow by paralleling the women's struggle with grief with their experiences of falling in love.
Levin's writing style does take a little time to get used to, since she darts in and out of the different perspectives of her characters and the dialogue is often buried in the stream-of-consciousness flow.
But once you adapt to her rythm, you start to see how it is essential to Levin's success in telling the story.
