Could Marie Antoinette's wigs get any higher? Could the anonymous women riding in hot air balloons alone with gentlemen be any more scandalous? Does an Ozark holler hold the mouth to a lost cave with the longest, thickest vein of gold in North America? Brief Interviews with the Romantic Past is a collection of rumors, secrets, tall tales, and lies that begins at the court of Louis XV and ends in the foothills of the Ozark Mountains.
With all the astonishments of history and the intimacy of memoir, Kathryn Nuernberger's collection juxtaposes peripheral figures from the French Revolution-the assassin, the executioner, the mistress, the spy, the son of a slave, the transgender swordfighter-with the oral histories of poachers, prophets, well witches, and ghosts of the Ozarks a century later. In essays that are equal parts historical and personal, Nuernberger brings the marvelous strangeness of the past into our present moment with wry wit and insight. Nuernberger has an eye for salvaging overlooked snapshots of human decency and moments of moral courage-the memories of which we might just want to save for later.

Top neck button is hard to close!
Size: 18" Neck 32"-33" Sleeve, Color: White
The top neck button is hard to close when you need to wear a necktie, especially if you have arthritis of the fingers like I do! Also, If your neck is a size 18 , it’s a tighter than what I’m used to! Otherwise a great fit and nice material!

Great fit
Size: 18" Neck 36"-37" Sleeve, Color: Lemon Glaze
Great fit. It’s hard for me to find a shirt that fits right, but this one works perfectly. Van Heusen makes reliable, good-quality shirts.

Disposable shirt
Size: 15.5" Neck 34"-35" Sleeve, Color: Black
This is a disposable shirt - which is largely to be expected at this price point. It's mostly polyester, super thin and slapped together. The fit is not terrible if you have broad shoulders and long arms if you buy the correct size (I frequently run into shirts that are several inches shorter in the sleeves than advertised). If you need a shirt for your job or an event and don't expect it to last too long you'll likely be happy with getting a handful of wears out of it before it inevitably falls apart.
