The Tin House blog doesn’t say when this “Lost & Found” feature first entered their vault, so there’s no telling if Paul Collins is still working this story, but this taste of a true-life boho Forrest Gump creates hope there’s a book project alive in some state. It’s classic Collins, but don’t ask what that means. Whatever he writes about, you’ll be into it before the echo wears off from the first crack of the spine. The Portland State prof’s latest is The Murder of the Century: The Gilded Age Crime That Scandalized a City & Sparked the Tabloid Wars.
