The Jynx

by Kenneth C Crowe

Overview

In THE JYNX, a Long Island clammer, barely surviving in a dying industry, is striving to become a wood sculptor. He is seduced by a political operative who serves the cause of the conservative rich and who specializes in character assassination. The political operative provides the money that the clammer/sculptor desperately needs, makes love to him, and is the inspiration for his masterpiece, The Jynx, a sculpture which transforms her from his soul mate into a vengeful enemy.
