“Jordan Cox is a beast…I wouldn’t be surprised if Cox, like Bigfoot, becomes a worldwide phenomenon.” —Ricardo Cortez Cruz, author of Straight Outta Compton

Inspired by Anne Carson’s Nox and other visual fictions, Jordan Cox’s The Only Dead Elephant in the Fair is a compelling work that masterfully blends visual and textual artifacts, pushing the limits of graphic narrative and fiction. Weaving together several threads of story, Cox crafts a loosely composed metanarrative that provides an unflinching look at the fragmented nature of a family living with the specter of abuse. The Only Dead Elephant in the Fair is a richly innovative text worthy of multiple reads.
