Sisters of interment

About this book

Illustrated with Bigelow's bold linocut art, Sisters of Interment is a series of interconnected stories about the odd characters who live just on the edge of reality. You will meet "Kid Kelly," based on a real life alcoholic boxer. "Desert Mushrooms" is a story based on the author's viewing of archival films of nuclear tests, while accounts of cattle mutilations in the newspaper during the 1960-70s is the basis for "Jackson Pollock's Cow." "The Color Orange" is about two brothers, now deceased, who lived on welfare, collected junk to make folk art, and drank a lot. "The Writing Lesson" is based on Draw Me matchbook covers found on the counters of truck stop restaurants.
