Cricket Dib, born on the American prairie, has no particular prospects or ambitions until, in grade school, he realizes he can draw. He soon meets a girl, Olympia Argyros, one year older, who is captivating and brilliant and far more worldly. Recognizing his talent, she convinces him to deface, with profound vulgarity, a popular playground. Under her direction, he does it willingly, already in love, and thus begins a sixty-five-year entwining between Cricket and Olympia, encompassing friendship, working partnership and love affair. Together they go to art school an experience of dubious value and then navigate the art world for the next fifty years, together and apart. A national Bestseller.

 

Olympias Glaube entfesselt Crickets Zeichentalent. Es beginnt eine lebenslange Verbindung, die Kriege, Verluste und den absurden Kunstmarkt überdauert. Während er in ihr seine Bestimmung sieht, sucht sie stets nach Neuem – doch im Trubel der Welt bleiben sie ihre einzige Konstante.
