A mystery and a love story about art, creativity, and above all, luckâ?"good, bad, and everything in between. With over one hundred lush and haunting drawings, this full-length, character driven story is a fresh and innovative reinvention of the illustrated novel.
-First novel from acclaimed artist Paul Madonna.
-Not a graphic novel, rather an illustrated novel--a novel filled with over 100 original pieces of art.
-The story takes place in San Francisco, Thailand, China, and Japan.
-Paul's earlier books have sold very well for City Lights, with close to 35,000 copies in print and each with a 90% sellthrough.
-Paul has a devoted fan base who will be supportive of this new work.
-In addition to bookstores, there is a strong potential gift market sale to galleries, museums, and gift shops.
"a gripping and deeply mysterious novel about the nature of artistic creation and the wayward, confounding path of inspiration? a true work of art." - Glen David Gold, author of Carter Beats the Devil
