Fool of Fame and the Rise of a Fatal Poem
The story follows Jackson Briggs, a self styled genius who bursts into social circles with a white and gold volume. He marries not his beloved but his art while Virginia Homenway’s flirtation and literary fame lure him toward failure. After years of neglect, poverty, and a life of unfulfilled ambitions, his once bright promise ends in a hollow, haunted descent toward the river and a final, desolate reckoning.
