The Picture Maker - David Nemec - Bog

The author of the internationally acclaimed The Systems of M.R. Shurnas, novelist and baseball historian David Nemec expands his reputation as a wide-ranging architect of coming-of-age novels (Remember Me to My Father: Robert D. Reed), erotic whodunits (Mad Blood: The Dial Press) and historical baseball tales (Early Dreams: Pocol Press) with the haunting story of Paul Raber, destined to replay forever his mental pictures of events from over thirty years earlier when he is everlastingly drawn to Seena Schain, a beautiful married poet he first encounters when she gives a reading at the prison where he is incarcerated. Told in Raber's often chillingly honest voice, The Picture Maker becomes progressively more spellbinding as each new layer of his torrid love affair with the mercurial Seena is unpeeled. Nemec's vivid sense of eroticism and his deep psychological understanding of his characters provide an unforgettable portrait of two star crossed lovers caught in a deadly maelstrom when they come to separate recognitions that they are both inescapably enmeshed in the "Cold Case" murder of a young girl.
