Description
Kevin Pace is working on a painting that he won't allow anyone to see. It's a massive canvas, twelve feet by twenty-one feet, covered in shades of blue. He doesn't know if it's his masterpiece or not - the truth is, he doesn't care. What Kevin does care about are the events of the past. Ten years ago, he had an affair with a young watercolorist in Paris. The details of this event are unclear to him; he can't explain why he had the affair, but he can't let it go. In the late seventies, Kevin and his friend Richard traveled to El Salvador on the verge of war to retrieve Richard's brother, who had gone missing without explanation. As the past intersects with the present, Kevin struggles to justify the sacrifices he's made for his art and the secrets he's kept from his wife. This novel features Percival Everett at his best, showcasing his deadpan humor and insightful commentary on the artistic life.
