It is told as a first person narrative and describes the late years of fictional Abstract Expressionist painter Rabo Karabekian, who first appeared as a minor character in Vonnegut's Breakfast of Champions. He meets Circe Berman on his own private beach and she, as it were, takes charge of him and invades his life and home. The only secret enclave he retains is his ?Potato Barn? which is the home of his studio and holds his "secret". It has no windows, and he has gone to the trouble of nailing one end shut and immobilizing the other with six padlocks. The mystery of the potato barn has enticed collectors to make outrageous offers and to raise suspicions of stolen masterpieces. With help from Berman, Karabekian comes to a realization in his life, that he was merely afraid of people, and opens the painting in the potato barn to the public.* A VG text copy of the 1st/1st with some age & minor faults in a VG protected dust jacket.*
