Overview
Overview
What really (might have) happened when Jack Ruby, nightclub owner, brass knuckle-slinger, and inveterate fan of Corbusier, decided to kill the killer of JFK? In this republication of Bob Trammell's 1980's narrative, Jack Ruby mythos loops between fact, fiction, and spectacle to make mockery of Dallas' place on the world stage. Jack Ruby & The Origins of the Avant-Garde in Texas caricaturizes everyone from Bob Thornton to Joseph Beuys; fodder for JFK conspiracy theorists, innuendo-readers, ingenious speculators, and pursuers of The Truth About Dallas At Large.
This volume also includes "The Quiet Man," short stories from over the course of Bob Trammell's writing career, lamenting both a generation that lost much by embarking on a (for some, very successful) search for themselves, and more a fatal attraction to a city that has not often valued/validated/offered much to its artists.
