Comedian Jesse Joyce says his fascination with “the guy who cut his own balls off with a pair of scissors and then killed John Wilkes Booth” forced him to write his new book.
“I've always been fascinated by the guy who cut his own balls off with a pair of scissors and then killed John Wilkes Booth. And separately, I was always kind of interested in this one little story that I know that John Wilkes Booth’s brother Edwin once saved Abraham Lincoln’s son’s life,” he said. “I decided they should be a book together. They make a very good kind of pairing to sort of compare and contrast their lives.
Joyce says Corbett bought into a wild conspiracy that he had actually killed the wrong man and that Booth was alive and well, which prompted him to flee to Kansas, fearful that Lincoln’s killer was coming after him.
