Wylie Kogan is an aspiring artist, stumping for work in 1963 California. When a fawning fan letter grants him access to his cartoonist hero, the wealthy and celebrated Joseph Ahlstrom, he’s quick to take advantage of a proffered portfolio review . . . but winds up learning more than he ever wanted to about Joe when he stumbles across some of his idol’s illicit fetish art.

His hasty, ill-considered theft of a drawing triggers a series of events he never planned on . . . most of which involve Joseph’s imposing and resolute partner, Roya.

Chloe A. ★★★★★

Wylie Kogan's hunger to break into cartooning in 1963 California hit close to home — I finished this in two sittings. The way his hero-worship of Joseph Ahlstrom curdles once he's inside that wealthy world is what stuck with me.

Christopher ★★★★★

The 1963 California setting feels lived-in, and Wylie's awkward climb from fan letter to Ahlstrom's orbit kept me turning pages. I finished it in two sittings.

Evelyn C. ★★★★★

The way Wylie’s desperation to break into Ahlstrom’s world unfolds kept me turning pages past midnight. That 1963 California setting feels so lived-in, you can almost smell the ink and dust.
