In the wintertime of 1926, when everyone everywhere sees nothing but good things in advance, Joe Trace, middle-aged door-to-door salesman of Cleopatra cosmetics, shoots his teenage enthusiast to death. With the funeral, Joe's better half, Violet, attacks the girl's corpse. This keen, profound report of love and obsession brings us back and forth with time, as a narrative is constructed from the thoughts, hopes, doubts, and profound realities of dark-colored urban life.
