A brilliant former student at a San Antonio community college, forgotten by none who met him, had gone on to the famed Black Mountain College in the 1930s, and achieved his dream of becoming a staff writer for The New Yorker. And then he vanished. Coincidence and curiosity morphed into an obsession for Igo: Who was Mendez Marks? Why did he die so young, at the height of his swift carreer? A strange history of family secrets, including madness and suicide, emerged along the way. Igo calls his memoir of his sixty-year pursuit of Marks \"a verbal example of a contained-space sculpture.\" It is a biography wrapped in a memoir wrapped in a psychological case study of a brilliant, original soul.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Igo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1609402812\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781609402815\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wings Press (TX)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.57h x 5.57w x 0.04d","brand":"John Igo","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48587790811391,"sku":"9781609402815","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/stone-for-plot-four-john-igo-9781609402815","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
