INGRID'S FAVORITE
Doubleday, $25.95 (signed first edition; extra shipping charges will apply due to weight)
In this debut novel, we meet a man of great prowess – a manipulator, a cynic, a man of indulgence and pride living in a moral vacuum. His life is changed forever after a horrible car accident that leaves him burned over much of his body. As he wallows in the burn unit, he meets a sculptor, Marianne Engel, who claims that they were lovers in medieval Germany. He is released into her care, and they begin a journey together into the depths of artistic madness and morphine-driven nightmares, and one of the most unusual love stories of the modern age. This is a vividly written book with an outrageously dark sense of humor, sure to appeal to anyone who likes Edward Gorey or that kind of gallows humor.
