Inside a topsy-turvy ragtime period of side-shows and bamboozlers, Irish Maupin runs from block urchin to burlesque legend. Plucked from the streets as a woman and fattened up for candy-factory advertising, she navigates a sensational profession around heart-break and loneliness, gaining and losing hundreds of pounds, manipulated by the men around her even while she defies them. From acclaimed Nebraska author Timothy Schaffert, this inaugural Ploughshares Single is a surreal adult story book about fatness, murder, and how exactly we change our bodies to meet up with the needs of others.Ploughshares, the literary mag of Emerson College.
