Vincent van Gogh created his life's work out of a vortex of passion
and delirium so intense his paintings seem to burst off the canvas.
In" Van Gogh's Bad Cafi," Frederic Tuten, the highly acclaimed
author of "Tintin in the New World," imagines the personification
of van Gogh's fervor and madness: Ursula, one of the most beguiling
creations in recent literature. A morphine-addicted, 19-year-old
photographer, Ursula is van Gogh's lover and tormentor. But she is
lost to him, and he to her, when she steps through a crack in the
wall of the Bad Cafi and finds herself in a strange world --
modern-day New York. As Ursula seeks to embrace her new environs,
van Gogh struggles with his isolation and his demons in
19th-century France. Illustrated with watercolors and drawings by
Eric Fischl, this highly original fiction moves nimbly between
centuries and perspectives. It delves thoughtfully and
imaginatively into the inner life of an artist who has fascinated
so many, exploring that complex place where art and life intersect.
