A bewitching collection of short fiction--haunting and hypnotic
meditations on art, movies, literature, and life. In "Dream of a
Clean Slate," Jackson Pollock the man struggles with the separation
he feels from Jackson Pollock the artist; "The Judgement of
Psycho," probes the sexual dynamic of Janet Leigh and Anthony
Perkins in Psycho, and then delves into the relationship between
Hector and Paris in the Iliad; and Orson Welles presides over
"Crimes at Midnight," a tense evocation of desire and its
consequences. A series of myths for modern times, this is an
astonishing debut.
