“Truth is not only stranger than fiction; often, it’s even more fun. In Inventing Loreta Velasquez, William C. Davis reconstructs a fascinating life—not that of the female Civil War veteran Velasquez was believed to be—but of a pathological liar whose main accomplishment in life was hoodwinking the press and the public. Her true story is entertaining on every page.” —Christina Vella, author of George Washington Carver: A Life

Bone Flute Music’s first instrument was everything in the wind’s path that made the sound called wind, being elsewhere, summoned to the field among the screams of reeds along the river. Or some such thing we cannot quite believe or disbelieve, since it makes no history, and we, historians by nature, are always late as those called late who came before us. In this way we see in them the moment we are in, the way music recalls its steps to walk ahead, and there is no music without that feeling of coming after, late as archeologists in love with something hollowed, and therefore made, by human nature remade, a bird bone with four small holes we take in hand and must imagine to see.
Charon When I took each coin from his eye in payment, I saw the minted eagle pressed into the skin there, its image laid so long, first in silver, then flesh, the lid too was coined, and thus only a thing of value when passed on, as cells in life are passed in trade for newer cells. But this day, like any, was unlike others, and as I pierced the harbor with my prow, he woke, then stepped ashore to look at the great white cliff, his eyes too quick to see the watery blink eyes need to see, to know the world we spin is winged in dark and never seen again.
