Book Discussion: Sacre Bleu: A Comedy d'Art by Christopher Moore at the Temple Terrace Public Library

Wednesday, August 7 at 2 p.m.
Temple Terrace Public Library, 202 Bullard Pkwy. in Temple Terrace
FREE

In July 1890, Vincent van Gogh went into a cornfield and shot himself. Or did he? Vincent’s friends, baker-turned-painter Lucien Lessard and bon vivant Henri Toulouse-Lautrec, have their doubts. Now they’re determined to answer the questions surrounding van Gogh’s untimely death—like who was the crooked little “color man” Vincent claimed was stalking him across France . . . and why had the painter recently become deathly afraid of a certain shade of blue? Ooh la la, quelle surprise, and zut alors, what follows is a surreal odyssey and brothel-crawl deep into the art world of late-nineteenth-century Paris.

For adults.
