Summary
Isabelle Copley fled Newford 20 years ago because the vivid images she conjured in her paintings had come to life, inflicting tragedy on those she loved. Now, she has returned, to reckon with her old master, the gifted but cruel painter Vincent Rushkin. She must also fulfill a promise to a long-dead friend, as well as accept her true feelings for her new love, Native-American John Sweetgrass.

Media Reviews
"In the fictional city of Newford, replete with the brutal realities of modern urban life, de Lint's characters encounter magic in strange and unexpected places...In de Lint's capable hands, modern fantasy becomes something other than escapism. It becomes folk song, the stuff of urban myth."
-- Phoenix Gazette

The Captive and the Fugitive
by Marcel Proust
In The Captive, Proust's narrator is living with Albertine in his mother's Paris apartment. He is chronically concerned about who she may or may not love. In The Fugitive, Albertine is irretrievably lost to him, and he retreats to Venice, where he receives a telegram from Gilberte, Swann's red-haired daughter. Rich with irony, the story inspires meditations on desire, homosexuality, music, and the art of introspection. The final volume of a new, definitive text of A la recherche du temps perdu was published by the Bibliotheque de la Pleiade in 1989. For this authoritative English-language edition, D. J. Enright has revised the late Terence Kilmartin's acclaimed reworking of C. K. Scott Moncrieff's translation to take into account the new French editions.

He reflects on time, reality, jealousy, artistic creation, and the raw material for literature - his past life.

The final volume of a new, definitive text of A la recherche du temps perdu was published by the Bibliotheque de la Pleiade in 1989. For this authoritative English-language edition, D. J.
