Brilliant modern comedic novel about a hapless, down-on-his-luck artist. In an odd way, this novel may cause you to consider the true meaning of "art" and what it means to you. If you enjoy the following description of the novel's lawyer: "...so eaten up with lawfulness and rage, ready to bite himself for being so respectable," then consider reading this book. You probably won't be disappointed.
