An Academic Adventure Goes Awry In 'Confessions Of The Fox'
Jordy Rosenberg's novel follows a professor who acquires the autobiographical "confessions" of legendary thief Jack Sheppard, and tries to add some academic footnotes — but things don't go to plan.
In some version of our maybe-present, professor R. Voth gets his hands on a moldering manuscript nobody in his university library seems to want. Voth ("a guy by design, not birth") soon discovers he's inherited the autobiographical "confessions" of notorious thief and jailbreaker Jack Sheppard and his lover Edgeworth Bess, and sets about attempting to add some academic footnotes.
