Flappers & Fiction

What can a pair of boots tell you about jealousy? More than any face, if this story is to be believed. When an artist’s antique foot-stove conjures a vision of colonial life, he follows his own Continental boots into frozen lanes, a candlelit church, and finally a moonlit clearing where swords cross in mid-air. The rivals are known only by their footwear, yet every shuffle, kick, and defiant heel-grind speaks volumes.
