Octoroon Ball

Meet the beautiful octoroon child-woman on the auction block, the infamous outlaw in love with her, a young Kipling in America on a secret mission, and the perfectly dead Dumaine family, all living in a luxurious brothel on a hill in New Orleans that doesn't exist. Then take a ride with Tolstoy, Gauguin, and a Russian circus giant, members of the New James Gang, as they rob the Bank of New Orleans with a magical brush stroke. Invigorating ski jaunts down the ice mountains of Pluto, torrid love sessions under Big Ben, and a supernatural electrical storm that disrupts the Octoroon Ball are just a few of the defining moments necessary for these people to come in touch with the bookmarks of their souls, and the strangely simple meaning of life itself.Breen, Richard, Jr. is the author of 'Octoroon Ball' with ISBN 9780595195190 and ISBN 0595195199.
