The Missing Body of the Fox
Written in the last years before his death, The Missing Body of the Fox goes in search of the mother whose suicide Hall witnessed when he was eight years old. Working his way through a memory shattered by trauma, he tries to recover the story of his mother Lurlene Bronaugh and the long consequences of her death for his childhood self and the man he becomes. In what Erik Reece calls "genuine, probing, unflinching" language, Hall seeks out a story that was shuttered in silence and shame. The book includes eighty-five images from Hall’s photographic series Orphans & Elegies. It features a foreword by Erik Reece and an introduction by Mary Ann Taylor-Hall.
