Description for Eustace Chisholm and the Works: A Novel
Paperback. "[S]o good that almost any novel you read immediately after it will seem at least a little bit posturing."-Jonathan Franzen Num Pages: 304 pages. BIC Classification: 5SG; FA. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 212 x 140 x 47. Weight in Grams: 250.
No Purdy work has dazzled contemporary writers more than this haunting tale of unrequited love in an indifferent world. A seedy Depression-era boardinghouse in Chicago plays host to "a game of emotional chairs" (Guardian) in a novel initially condemned for its frank depiction of abortion, homosexuality, and life on the margins of American society.
