“Carol Jameson has a rare talent for delight. In reanimating past artists, poets, and lovers, she snares them in a Midsummer Night’s Dream of pure storytelling intoxication. Even her André Breton is halfway loveable!”
—Jonathan Lethem, New York Times best-selling author of Motherless Brooklyn and The Fortress of Solitude

“Jameson has written a wonderful novel, layered with romantic escapades and philosophical musings on Art and Life. She deftly handles different places and historical time periods from Paris on the cusp of war, to New York, Mexico, and Los Angeles. Adam is the archetypal male artist, a modern Don Quixote in search of the Ideal, while André Breton, as Sancho Panza, offers counsel that fluctuates between brilliance and buffoonery. The women—Pauline, Mimi, and Leonora—are visionary artists in their own right. Adam and Leonora is executed in a fluid literary style reminiscent of the great studies of human folly.”
—Summer Brenner, author of The Missing Lover

“I ‘watched’ this novel as if I were viewing a Bunuel film, delighted and surprised by the quick geographic and emotional twists, and by a take on romance (mad love!) that characterizes the best of surrealism.”
—Owen Hill, author of the Clay Blackburn novels

“An ambitious blend of fiction and art history, author Carol Jameson explores the powerful and often provocative role that dreams can play in everyday life. Fans of surrealism are sure to enjoy.”
—Victoria Lilienthal, author of the award-winning novel The T Room
