Confessions of the fox : a novel / Jordy Rosenberg. by Rosenberg, Jordy. One World, [2018] Call #: FICTION ROS Subjects Sheppard, Jack, 1702-1724 -- Fiction.   Thieves -- Fiction.   Transgender people -- Fiction.   Autobiography -- Authorship -- Fiction.   Rogues and vagabonds -- Fiction.   London (England) -- History -- 18th century -- Fiction. ISBN:  9780399592270 (hc.) Edition:  1st ed. Description:  xiv, 329 p. ; 25 cm Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (p. [323]-329). Summary:  Set in the eighteenth century London underworld, this bawdy, genre-bending novel reimagines the life of thief and jailbreaker Jack Sheppard to tell a profound story about gender, love, and liberation. Recently jilted and increasingly unhinged, Dr. Voth throws himself into his work, obsessively researching the life of Jack Sheppard, a legendary eighteenth century thief. No one knows Jack's true story--his confessions have never been found. That is, until Dr. Voth discovers a mysterious stack of papers titled Confessions of the Fox. Dated 1724, the manuscript tells the story of an orphan named P. Sold into servitude at twelve, P struggles for years with her desire to live as "Jack." When P falls dizzyingly in love with Bess, a sex worker looking for freedom of her own, P begins to imagine a different life. Bess brings P into the London underworld where scamps and rogues clash with London's newly established police force, queer subcultures thrive, and ominous threats of an oncoming plague abound. At last, P becomes Jack Sheppard, one of the most notorious--and most wanted--thieves in history. An imaginative retelling of Brecht's Threepenny Opera, Confessions of the Fox blends high-spirited adventure, subversive history, and provocative wit to animate forgotten histories and the extraordinary characters hidden within.
