What really (might have) happened when Jack Ruby, nightclub owner, brass knuckleslinger, and inveterate fan of Corbusier, decided to kill the killer of JFK? In this firstever trade publication of Bob Trammells work, Jack Ruby mythos loops between fact, fiction, and spectacle to satirize Dallas place on the world stage. Jack Ruby & The Origins of the AvantGarde in Dallas caricaturizes everyone from Bob Thornton to Joseph Beuys fodder for JFK conspiracy theorists, innuendoreaders, ingenious speculators, and pursuers of The Truth About Dallas At Large. With an introduction by Ben Fountain and afterword by David Searcy, this volume also includes Trammells "Quiet Man" story cycle from over the course of his long, countercultural writing career, lamenting a generation that lost much by embarking on a search for themselves in a cityand worldunwilling to support its brightest artists.
