In a weave of casual reminiscence and poignant reflection, these true tales take you to Hollywood, Costa Rica, Camelot, Tribeca, jail, Rome, Kansas, and the hospital. You may go by third-world bus, you may go in a Rolls. Dedicated to The Artistes, the stories celebrate creative life—stars in the sky, stars on the screen, stars in our eyes. Fiction doesn't compare to this stuff—because artists can be victims of their own commitment. Yet they continue to dare, to find comfort in discomfort, honesty in uncertainty, inspiration in sparcity, and faith in creation.
