Russell's virtuoso storytelling, evocative prose and original conception mark [his first book] as a significant work that we can only hope will be followed by many more (<em>Chicago Tribune</em>). <em>Yellow Jack</em> is a ribald, picaresque trip through an 1840s New Orleans saturated with sex, drugs, death, and corruption. In this luminously haunting (<em>Entertainment Weekly</em>) portrait of decadence, daguerrotypist Claude Marchand becomes hopelessly entangled with both a voodoo-adept octoroon mistress and the erotically precocious daughter of a prominent New Orleans family. Russell has distilled the New Orleans of the mid-1800s, the terrible fever of the title, and the savage lives of the characters into a novel of terrible beauty.--<em>Nashville Scene</em>
