Dazzled by Darkness: A Story of Art & Desire
by Erica Miles
Sara is a book-smart Jewish girl who works at the Brooklyn
Museum Art School. 'G' is a street-smart Latino apprentice who creates radical,
in-your-face art work. When these two NY opposites meet, something clicks and
wheels begin to turn. In this unique novel about mental illness, art history,
and time-travel, readers will experience life in the 1960's and life during the
Renaissance (and other great periods of Art History) like they never have
before! The two main protagonists each escape into their own fantasies (hearing
voices on the part of schizophrenic Sara; imagined interactions with Dead
Master Artists, on the part of "G"), both ending up in a
Compulsive-Obsessional World of Art & Desire!
