Summary
Ruby tells the story of Ruby Castle told in
snapshots and fleeting glimpses and secret histories, in
tales repeated and reinvented by those who fall under the
horror film actress's spell: her childhood sweetheart, an
antiquarian bookseller with a passion for magical artifacts,
the mistress of the poet who was once Castle's lover, a young
girl in a future Russia who dreams of the stars. Worlds collide, and the boundaries between the real and
the fantastic begin to break down. Is Ruby Castle a living
person or a collective fantasy? By the time the final page of
Ruby is turned, the world that Castle created
through her films has become dangerously indistinguishable
from our own. B-Side
