Matriarchy Book

Are you a Sub? Do you delight in bondage and cross dressing? Malcolm McKesson certainly did, and this bizarre but beautiful book is the proof of it. After a life of working in obscurity, he published this roman a clef and became the darling of the Outsider Art world.
Malcolm was a neighbor. He came from a wealthy New Jersey family, went to Harvard, and then failed at everything until he settled on being an artist. He was our local eccentric, the guy who spent one winter living in an igloo he constructed on his lawn. His poor wife Madeleine roughed it up in the big house with no electricity or running water. Several summers running, he constructed a scale model reproduction of a British warship. It was an oddly beautiful thing, tied up at the dock he built for it, but it sank on its initial voyage. A friend remembers as a child seeing Malcolm in full female rig (he was a big guy, bald, with lots of ear and nose hair) walking down to town. When she exclaimed, "There's Malcolm!" her parents shushed her. Somehow he managed to negotiate his place in a conservative, well-off summer community and yet live an art life devoted to his dream of serving The Feminine and suppressing The Masculine. Good on ya, Malcolm!
