Black Oxen: Enriched Edition. A Jazz Age satire of rejuvenation, desire, and scientific romance in 1920s New York society

"Black Oxen" recounts the tale of Mary Ogden, a wealthy and striking woman who, at the age of fifty, undergoes a mysterious rejuvenation treatment that astonishingly restores her youth and vitality. This dramatic metamorphosis draws the ardent attention of young men, yet also provokes deeper reflections on the nature of aging and the human longing to thwart time. As Mary steps into a new life defined by her youthful appearance, she grows close to Lee Clavering, a young artist initially captivated by her beauty but soon genuinely enamored. Their bond, however, is complicated by Mary's concealed past and the unaltered fact that she remains, at heart, a middle-aged woman. Through Mary's extraordinary journey, Black Oxen delves into themes of beauty, the allure of eternal youth, and the timeless quest for immortality.
