~ Set variously in Donegal, Dublin, Boston, Nicaragua and Majorca, the stories in The Draughtsman and the Unicorn charts the bittersweet and comic misadventures of its protagonists as they encounter such mysteries as love, betrayal and a policeman on holidays suddenly confronted with the nature of his trade; a mother haunted by a childhood hoax; a young woman who fancies herself as the last unicorn. Ambient and enchanting, Glavin's second short story collection (his first, One For Sorrow) offers a series of slowly revealed, unexpected and often devastating insights into the nuances and vagaries of the human condition.

The Grist Mill Ghost

Cover is damaged front and back, and it’s loose from the broken spine. I only saw underlining on the Forward page. Yellowing and spotting throughout book. Some dog ears. Name stamped on first page and a price written. 
There’s a couple of pages missing between the Title Page and the Forward Page. Very old (1914-first edition) 1942.

Or the Lives of King Ludwig II of Bavaria and Empress Sisi of Austria (Queen of Hungary), Cousins, in Their Pursuit of Connection and Beauty...

A wildly over-the-top social satire reimagining the mad misadventures of the iconic royal cousins King Ludwig and Empress Sisi, from the incomparable Jac Jemc. History knows them as King Ludwig II of Bavaria and Empress Elizabeth of Austria, icons of the late nineteenth century who died young and left behind magnificent portraits and palaces. But to each other they were Ludwig and Sisi, cousins who shared a passion for beauty and a stubborn refusal to submit to the roles imposed upon them. Ludwig, simultaneously spoiled and punished for his softness and "unmanly" interests, falls hard for the operas of Richard Wagner and neglects his state duties in the pursuit of art. Sisi, married at the age of sixteen to her beloved Franzl, bristles at the restrictions of her elevated position, the value placed on her beauty, and the simultaneous expectation that she ravage her body again and again in childbirth. Both absurdly vain, both traumatized by the demands of their roles, Sisi and Ludwig struggle against the ideals they are expected to embody, and resist through extravagance, petulance, performance, and frivolity. A tragicomic tour de force, Empty Theatre immerses readers in Ludwig and Sisi’s rarefied, ridiculous, restrictive world—where the aesthetics of excess belie the isolation of its inhabitants. With wit, pathos, and imagination, Jac Jemc takes us on an unforgettable journey through two extraordinary parallel lives and the complex, tenuous friendship that linked them.
