J.C. Hallman is the author of five books of nonfiction and a book of short stories. His work has been widely published an anthologized, and he had received fellowships from the Guggenheim and McKnight foundations.

Marion Sims and the young, enslaved woman -- Sims's "first cure" -- known as Anarcha.
