Summary
Henry, a New Yorker left destitute by circumstance and obsession, is plucked from vagrancy by a shadowy outfit with a decidedly niche business. They arrange staged murders of anxiety-ridden clients unhinged by the "events downtown" and seeking to experience-and live through-their own carefully executed assassinations. When Henry joins this nefarious crew, which includes a beautiful blonde tattoo artist named Tulip, contortionist twins, and a woman referred to only as "the knockout," he becomes inextricably linked to its enigmatic ringleader. The mysterious herring connoisseur Mr. Kindt's identity can be traced through twists and turns all the way back to the corpse depicted in Rembrandt's The Anatomy Lesson. Substantive, stylish, and darkly comic, The Exquisite is a skillful dissection of reality, human connection, and the very nature of existence
