Van Gogh's Bad Cafe (Hardcover)

This is the story of Ursula, 19 years old, morphine-addicted, bisexual and caught between two worlds: the rural French village in which she lives out a bohemian rhapsody with tortured artist Vincent Van Gogh and modern-day New York, into which she falls after slipping through a fissure in time. Mysterious, free-spirited and eager for experience, Ursula quickly adjusts to modern life, art and drugs in the East Village, metamorphosing into a militant feminist with a crew-cut and nose-ring before slipping back through time to be reunited with her lover at the point of his suicide. Clever, literate and sensual, the novel can be read as an imaginative love story, a comment on the creeping decadence of two fin-de-siecle societies or as a brave attempt to personify the passion and originality of Van Gogh's paintings.
