Synopsis

Debussy’s Slippers is a surreal, satirical novel imagining an ill-fated artistic entanglement between George Gershwin and Maurice Ravel, sparked by a most unlikely muse: a pair of threadbare slippers once owned by Claude Debussy.

Part literary farce, part philosophical meditation on creativity, the novel follows Gershwin as he drifts between ambition and insecurity, Old World reverence and New World bravado. When the slippers, revered by Ravel as a talisman of genius, are accidentally carried back to New York, they become the catalyst for obsession, rivalry, and a wonderfully unhinged transatlantic reckoning.

Playful, erudite, and knowingly absurd, Debussy’s Slippers explores artistic identity, impostor syndrome, and the dangerous idea that inspiration can be inherited, stolen, or worn. It is a novel about genius and ego, friendship and theft, and the strange, comic places where art is born.
