    Will happiness find me?
    • An artist's book by the renowned Swiss duo dedicated to the questions that everyone asks themselves once in a Can something be unbelievable? Should I get drunk? Could I be Japanese? Is the freedom of birds overrated? Am I a farmer in winter? Does unease grow by itself? Should I crawl into my bed and stop producing things all the time?

      You could say that Little Mirror is a book-length conversation with an inanimate object. Or you could say it's a monologue in forty-seven fragments told to a different kind of fragment--a piece of mirrored glass. Or it's a confession made to a listener who cannot hear. Or a cri de coeur to a fellow traveler who cannot feel. Or a series of meditations on failure and grace and how to live, addressed to a companion who can reflect but not reflect on. This is a book whose plain talk with a thing of little value becomes a refiner's fire to burn away self-deception and dishonesty and replace it with clarity.

      Naked Came I portrays Rodin as driven to be an artist because his temperament would allow him to be nothing else. It shows him as a friend with other Parisian artists such as Edgar Degas, Auguste Renoir, Édouard Manet, and those of the Second French Empire associated with the Salon des Refusés: they were generally outside the Paris art establishment, and had been refused admission to the École des Beaux Arts.

      Naked Came I
    • V životopisném románě přibližuje současný americký autor život a dílo slavného francouzského sochaře Augusta Rodina. Spolu s ním předvádí celou plejádu vynikajících osobností uměleckého i politického života, s nimiž se Rodin stýkal a jež zasahovaly do jeho lidských i uměleckých osudů.
