Fetish Lives eBook

by Gail Jones

About the Book

Saints and dancers, writers and flim stars, Elvis, Madame Tussaud and Mata Hari: just some of the lives explored in these unusual and arresting stories. With imaginative verve, Gail Jones weaves fact and speculation to reveal the ‘fetish’ aspects in the lives of people, both famous and ordinary.

‘… Jones provocatively and sensitively surveys a cast of artists, and some less famous readers and impersonators, to review the relationship between art and their lives. Fleshing out scant evidence, illuminating interstices in the records, and imagining what cannot be known, the writer engages the reader in an elegantly controlled and intriguing speculative process.’ — Australian Book Review

‘A collection of elegant and thoughtful short stories — like opening presents that have been exquisitely crafted and wrapped.’ — Delia Falconer, Sydney Morning Herald
