A New York Times Editors’ Choice: “A mind-bending romp through a gender-fluid, eighteenth century London . . . a joyous mash-up of literary genres shot through with queer theory and awash in sex, crime, and revolution.”NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The New Yorker • HuffPost • Kirkus Reviews • Finalist for the Lambda Literary Award • Shortlisted for the Center for Fiction First Novel Prize • “A dazzling tale of queer romance and resistance.”—TimeJack Sheppard and Edgeworth Bess were the most notorious thieves, jailbreakers, and lovers of eighteenth-century London. Yet no one knows the true story; their confessions have never been found. Until now. Reeling from heartbreak, a scholar named Dr. Voth discovers a long-lost manuscript—a gender-defying exposé of Jack and Bess’s adventures. Is Confessions of the Fox an authentic autobiography or a hoax? As Dr. Voth is drawn deeper into Jack and Bess’s tale of underworld resistance and gender transformation, it becomes clear that their fates are intertwined—and only a miracle will save them all. Writing with the narrative mastery of Sarah Waters and the playful imagination of Nabokov, Jordy Rosenberg is an audacious storyteller of extraordinary talent.Praise for Confessions of the Fox“A cunning metafiction of vulpine versatility . . . an action-adventure tale with postmodern flourishes; an academic comedy spliced with period erotica; an intimate meditation on belonging.”—Katy Waldman, The New Yorker“Confessions of the Fox is so goddamned good. Reading it was like an out-of-body experience. I want to run through the streets screaming about it. It should be in the personal canon of every queer and non-cis person. Read it.”—Carmen Maria Machado, National Book Award finalist for Her Body and Other Parties “A hat tip to Moby-Dick . . . a running footnote hall of mirrors to rival Borges . . . one of the most trenchant calls for progressive action that I have read in a very long time.”—The New York Times Book Review “An ambitious work of metafiction, a sexy queer love story . . . a bold first novel.”—Entertainment Weekly

Ever read something that you suspect was over-praised and wonder what all the fuss was about?This book was a chore to get through. I started it with high hopes--a postmodern textual apparatus with allusive false citations and a frame story (and expanding stories within stories in the footnotes!)--purporting to be major reimagination of interesting issues in gender and social discourse. What I found was a self-absorbed text, more in-jokey than genuinely witty, with cardboard characters, unbelievable action, unclear plot and a tone and style not unlike a contemporary pulp novel, albeit with faky "period-specific" Capitalizations plac'd about with Diverse Sundry Apostrophes insert'd. I was unconvinced.Note also that the major preoccupation of the main character, toward which his thoughts tend with irritating and obsessive frequency, is cunnilingus: this is so often, so insistently described with an outright pornographic intensity that I found it a major distraction. As are those post-modern footnotes; how many times do we need to follow the supertext to know that the asterisk is going to be followed only by the words 'penis' or 'pussy?'The frame story, about a modern annotator of the text facing silly and wholly predictable, albeit unbelievable, 'educational reforms' (a Dean of Surveillance whose office is accommodated in a purged campus library, a company called Militia.edu whose employees' cars are more expensive than the narrator's) is described at about the level of situation comedy. It's hard to see what we're supposed to identify with in so facile a construction. The jokes are too broad, too trite, and fail to elicit sympathy.In the end, I found this book easy and trashy: the ambitions of this text, which are considerable and laudable, require a much more weighty and carefully-constructed treatment. A denser text, more richly and believably described and narrated, with characters serving as better than plot devices, would have better served the important issues the book ostensibly discusses. As it stands, this reads like an in-joke for the Academy, and much the praise it's garnered, I suspect, is motivated by critical politics. I wish it were otherwise.
