I Am Not Jackson Pollock

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.
