Russell's \"virtuoso storytelling, evocative prose and original conception mark [his first book] as a significant work that we can only hope will be followed by many more\" (\u003cem\u003eChicago Tribune\u003c\/em\u003e). \u003cem\u003eYellow Jack\u003c\/em\u003e is a ribald, picaresque trip through an 1840s New Orleans saturated with sex, drugs, death, and corruption. In this \"luminously haunting\" (\u003cem\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/em\u003e) portrait of decadence, daguerrotypist Claude Marchand becomes hopelessly entangled with both a voodoo-adept octoroon mistress and the erotically precocious daughter of a prominent New Orleans family. \"Russell has distilled the New Orleans of the mid-1800s, the terrible fever of the title, and the savage lives of the characters into a novel of terrible beauty.\"—\u003cem\u003eNashville Scene\u003c\/em\u003e","brand":"Norton, W.
