A propos du livre

Revue de presse

Not since Henry Miller has a writer so successfully captured the trials and tribulations of a struggling artist. Nersesian focuses on urban life, and here he has created a masterly image. Highly recommended . --Library Journal

Thoroughly validates Nersesian s reputation as one of the wittiest and most perceptive chroniclers of downtown life. --Time Out, New York

A heartfelt, tragicomic bohemian romance...The hip squalor...takes on a mythic charge that energises Nersesian s lyrical celebration. --Publishers Weekly

Présentation de l'éditeur

Orloff Trenchant is a painter who sells books on West 4th Street in Manhattan and is obsessed with mastering his craft. Desperate for cash, Orloff agrees to take a commission no one else will touch: he has three weeks to carve a headstone for a recently deceased Chinese restaurateur in the shape of a Chinese takeout box. As Orloff attempts to make his deadline, he navigates a toxic mix of fellow artists, struggling gallery owners, and a haunting drug addict poet whose life is more out of control than his own.
