Close Enough for the Angels by Paul Madonna
A mystery and a love story about art, creativity, and above all, luckgood, bad, and everything in between. With over one hundred lush and haunting drawings, this full-length, character driven story is a fresh and innovative reinvention of the illustrated novel.“absolutely stunning… an all new art form” * 7x7 Magazine *
". . . A deeply satisfying, ruminative meditation on life seen through the eyes of appealing, but imperfect, characters. . . highly recommended." * Foreword Reviews *
"explores the nature of the creative process and is a blend of artistic media, with more than 100 ink-on-paper illustrations of locations in China, Japan and Thailand interspersed throughout the novel." * Shelf Awareness *
“a gripping and deeply mysterious novel about the nature of artistic creation and the wayward, confounding path of inspiration… a true work of art.” — Glen David Gold, author of Carter Beats the Devil
