New York Times bestselling author Christopher Moore takes us on a theatrical journey around fin de siècle France inspired by Van Gogh’s death and the role an imagined and curious paint dealer, the Colorman, might have played in it. Real characters (a crew of Impressionist painters including Toulouse-Lautrec and Monet) have their lives completely rethought in a surreal and dreamlike way: You’re never certain where you are between fact and fiction, but you’re always entertained.
Sacré Bleu, Christopher Moore, $30.
