Jean Shepherd
Portion used

back cover, cropped
Low resolution?

234 × 393 pixels, of such low resolution as to have no commercial value whatever
Purpose of use

forms part of the critical commentary on a book discussed in depth in the article, beyond what words can show
Replaceable?

no free image exists or can be created in relation to the subject matter.
Other information image depicts a significant episode in the career of Jean Shepherd, specifically the creation of a spurious book by a pseudonymous author, and subsequent production thereof. As such it helps to define the author's relationship with fans (who requested the book despite knowing it didn't exist) and his creative mingling of truth and fiction, a major part of his work.
