Confessions of St Augustine - 2nd Edition - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The new 2nd edition includes hundreds of full color paintings and thousands of black and white drawings. A picaresque (as well as picturesque) novel in the tradition of Catcher in the Rye, Portnoy's Complaint, and Catch-22, but with one more catch. The narrator is the artist. Set against the background of drawings and paintings as diverse as Daumier and Degas, Hopper and Homer, the story's woven together in such a way it can be only be described as a unique hybrid--a literary novel and an art book that has no rival in the history of the novel! Colorful. Original. Outrageous!--The voice of a Holden Caulfield, Alexander Portnoy, Robin Williams, Jack Nicholson and Yes Even Samuel L Jackson! (for starters) but the yin and yang of modern man in all of his bipolar glory--wavering between Augustine and Auschwitz, Sartre and certainty--heaven or hell...,but desperately searching for meaning with little more than his words and his art as a means to express it. A wild, manic, full-throttle ride through our subconscious dreamscapes.
