Description
A young cartoonist becomes consumed by the work of Kalo, a forgotten 1940s New Yorker artist, believing the past holds an artistic perfection missing from the present. As his research deepens, his nostalgia and obsessive temperament strain friendships, family ties, and his ability to remain engaged with ordinary life. Blending dry humor, melancholy, and meticulously composed artwork, this graphic novel explores artistic identity, the allure of vanished eras, and the complicated demands of adulthood.
