Description
The Electric Michelangelo is a captivating love story set against the vibrant backdrop of seaside resorts. Cy Parks' journey takes him from his childhood in a guest house to his apprenticeship with an alcoholic tattoo artist, and eventually, to the riotous world of Coney Island's boardwalk.
In this exotic environment, Cy becomes enamoured with Grace, a mysterious immigrant and circus performer who commissions him to cover her entire body in tattooed eyes. As their relationship deepens, Cy must navigate his own desires and sense of identity.
A beautifully rendered portrait of seaside resorts on opposite sides of the Atlantic, The Electric Michelangelo is a unique and atmospheric novel that explores themes of love, identity, and belonging.
