Description

Part modern fable, part detective novel, a journey through grief in the imaginary world of Metaphoria.

One cold winter night, Charlie shares a cab with a stranger in a purple hat. As they talk, a cloud of purple smoke overwhelms him, and he wakes up to find himself behind the only desk in the Epiphany Detective Agency. Charlie, as it turns out, is trapped in Metaphoria, an otherworldly place that reality has forgotten, a place where everything means something else. His first client is Shirley Miller, who insists on hiring Charlie to find her husband’s missing heart. In fact, she’s so insistent that she replaces Charlie’s heart with a bomb. He has 24 hours to find Twiggy Miller’s heart - and its meaning - or his own will explode.

Tender and brutal, optimistic and despairing, this modern fable by the author of the cult hit All My Friends Are Superheroes takes a fresh look at what it means to fall into, and out of, love.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“Irreverent and bursting prose. Fans of Mark Leyner will enjoy Kaufman’s messy string of outrageous scenarios.” (Publishers Weekly)

The Ticking Heart manages to use metaphor to encourage readers to consider the tangled mysteries of their own hearts - puffs of purple smoke not necessarily included.” (Quill & Quire)

"Tender and brutal, optimistic and despairing, this modern fable by the author of the cult hit All My Friends Are Superheroes takes a fresh look at what it means to fall into, and out of, love.” (Hamilton Review of Books)
