The spiritual cousin to Blue Self Portrait by Noémi Lefebvre-much of the book takes place during a transatlantic flight.For readers of Old Masters by Thomas Bernhard, The Death of Francis Bacon by Max Porter, and Hold Fast to Your Crown by Yannick Haenel. Features Mark's signature absurdism: serious, strange, weird, and humorous aIl at the same time. In contrast to Reinhardt's Garden, Saint Sebastian's Abyss is written in short, bite-sized snippets that gather momentum as they go. A book about obsession, belief, doubt, and the heart vs. the mind. Also about elitism and the gatekeepers of art, whether painting or literature.
In this delightfully dense, fast-paced comedy with notes of Laszlo Krasznahorkai and Saul Bellow, Jacov and his scribe cross continents in search of the legendary prophet of melancholic philosophy.
