An art-world novel in memoir form about a 1979-80 love triangle set in New York’s Lower East Side, Haiti, Paris, and Timbuktu. Zachary, an art collector with roots in the flea markets, and FleX, an eccentric and self-destructive artist, are both in love with Rachel, a model from Haiti. Zachary is instrumental in creating FleX's meteoric career, even as he impregnates Rachel. The resulting chaos is corrupt, funny, and eventually catastrophic.
