L'Etoile de Mer (The Starfish): Sequel to Traitor Comet - Paperback

by Personne (Author)

In this sequel to Traitor Comet, we follow Antonin Artaud as his successful Theatre Alfred Jarry provokes the outrage and protests of the Surrealists, led by Andre Breton. The usually cheerful Robert Desnos descends into drugs and depression due to Breton's insistence he join the French Community Party, which Artaud rejects outright. We meet Kiki of Montparnasse, Pablo Picasso, Man Ray and Lee Miller. Geoff, watching with alarm the growing influence of the National Socialist German Worker's Party, realizes he is being stalked - probably by Helmut Heumer, his former Austrian neighbor. Despite Geoff's best efforts, his mysterious past and Austria's precarious future violently collide to endanger everyone he loves.
