These Lowly Objects

By Cate McGowan

In These Lowly Objects, Cate McGowan has fashioned one of the great fictional characters of our time in Jules Lalande, Dadaist extraordinaire. From his Dickensian childhood alongside a second cousin (and later, wife), Isobel, McGowan tracks--in rich, rigorous prose--the Zelig-like Lalande's wanderings through fin de si?ecle Paris as he rubs elbows with Degas and C?ezanne, fights in World War I, lands in New York with Breton, becomes a professional boxer, hangs out with Duchamp, and disappears in Cuba--or does he? Enter this remarkably imagined, enchanted world and discover the many delights of McGowan's marvelous creation.
