Description
Zoe’s second husband Jack Bryans provided silhouette illustrations for her second novel, about a naïve American traveling in Europe, emptying her purse for disabled beggars, and for a novel by Jack and Zoe’s friend James Corrothers, a Black author and pastor. Jack’s cartoons also appeared in newspapers and periodicals and on postcards. Soon after their 1902 marriage, Zoe tired of life with a freelance humorist. “It’s a deadly thing to see people grind out fun,” she mused in The New York Times.
