The Poe Shadow by Matthew Pearl
2.0
For a book that I would have thought I would have LOVED...I was sure disappointed. This book was about Quetin Clark, a man who was obsessed Poe.
Basically, he spends all of his life and time and money trying to uncover the truth about Poe's death (because he will not accept that Poe really drank himself to death. He alienates his friends, his fiance breaks it off and becomes enaged to his bff. He even gets arrested, and drugged.
Don't worry, in the end, he gets back with his fiance, doesn't go to jail, and is able to find another explanation for Poe's death.
Bleh.
