Synapsis: Elizabeth Mann, plagued by self-destructive habits, thinks leaving New York will solve her problems. Taking a travel-writing assignment to London, she encounters the skeleton of the famous 18th century criminal Jonathan Wild in an obscure museum. Her Burgeoning preoccupation with the thief is briefly interrupted by an encounter with Gideon Strretcar, an infertility specialist and lover-to-be. The Streetcar presents her with the memoirs of Jonathan Wild’s second wife, Mary.
