A Literary Fiction Short Story Collection

Publisher Description

A collection of short stories which tear through the archives of cinema, of art and of the subconscious.

A young Lizzie Borden visits the circus; a pianist makes a Faustian pact in a fly-blown Southern brothel; and a transfigured Mary Magdalene steps out of the canvases of Donatello and de la Tour.
