He captures the savagery and delicacy of love, the cynicism and romanticism of the Art world, and the spiraling nature of life in general. It's a heartbreaking, amusing read, reminding most of the films of Whit Stillman." --Paula Bomer, author of Inside Madeleine "King Lear via Philip Roth. Julian Tepper writes wonderfully about all his conflicted characters." --Teddy Wayne, author of Loser Item Height: 0.8 in LC Classification Number: PS3620.E67A89 2016 Item Weight: 14.8 Oz
