Ambitious and contemporary in scope, AMERICAN RENAISSANCE enters the literary arena as an upmarket “Supernatural-spy-thriller,” weaving in art history, parody, and politics with a philosophical bent.
It has the ability to intellectually engage as well as hilariously entertain on widely differing levels. At once achieving a literary tone at times reminiscent of works as distinct as “The Sympathizer” (the 2016 Pulitzer Prize in Fiction), Donna Tartt’s “The Secret History” – or the commercial instincts of “The Davinci Code” – it also brings a philosophical depth which at times evokes perennial classics such as “A Confederacy of Dunces” or “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.”
Did the artist, Sean Dorian Knight, truly live? Who was he and why did he disappear – and why did his body of work become inexplicably erased from the historical record? Part spy novel, part biographical murder mystery, it is a haunting question that leads the reader into what perhaps could be the greatest true conspiracy of all time rooted in the enigmatic role played by the CIA in the founding of Modern art.
American Renaissance is at once a hilarious critique of the Post-Modern art scene in 1990s Paris, as well as an action-driven international thriller about the plight of modern-day artists living in the spiritual and political vortex during a paradigm shift of the new millennium. The full story is best experienced in numerical order and comprises:
Book 1: “Missions Dangerous” (FOR RELEASE DECEMBER 10, 2024)
Book 2: “An Identity Left on the Rue da la Clignancourt” (anticipated release Spring 2025)
Book 3: “A Theological History of Lost Peoples & Romantics” (anticipated release Summer 2025)
