Memoirs of Carwin the Biloquist (A Fragment) by Charles Brockden Brown

"Memoirs of Carwin the Biloquist (A Fragment)" by Charles Brockden Brown is an unfinished story published in monthly installments between 1803-1805. Young Carwin discovers he can perfectly mimic any voice through ventriloquism. As he develops this deceptive power, he attempts to manipulate those around him for personal gain. A mysterious gentleman named Ludloe takes him under his wing, hinting at a secret society—but demands complete honesty about Carwin's past. The story ends abruptly, leaving Carwin's fate unresolved and his connection to a suspicious death unexplained. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
