{"product_id":"notes-on-jackson-and-his-hugh-fulham-mcquillan-9781628972870","title":"Notes on Jackson and His Dead","description":"\u003cb\u003eIn this collection of eighteen stories, Hugh Fulham-McQuillan writes with the playfulness and intelligence of such masters of the short form as Borges, Poe, and Barthelme.\u003c\/b\u003e He examines the aesthetics of murder, the reigning fascination of the macabre in popular culture, and the tenuous line that separates art from life. One narrator traces the Mius strip that encloses the assassination of Julius Caesar, Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar, and the murder of Lincoln by a famous actor in a theater. Another undergoes plastic surgery to accelerate the process of his being possessed by the ghost of the Italian composer Gesualdo. A detective ponders the interest he takes in investigating murders. Fulham-McQuillan wears his learning lightly and writes with the tact of a born storyteller.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hugh Fulham-McQuillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1628972874\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781628972870\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dalkey Archive Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/29\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 212\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/15\/2019 pg. 16","brand":"Hugh Fulham-McQuillan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939405463807,"sku":"9781628972870","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_45c69199-508d-4cf3-a60b-bb46148b88f1.jpg?v=1681441300","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/notes-on-jackson-and-his-hugh-fulham-mcquillan-9781628972870","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
