From one of the great modern masters of the fantastic, \u201cA beautiful, brilliant, meditation on art, love, inspiration and what makes life worthwhile.”\u2014Neil Gaiman<\/b><\/p>\n
“[Carroll’s] prose is spare, polished and quick-moving, sometimes lightly comic, always immensely engaging…\u00a0<\/b>Mr. Breakfast<\/i><\/b>\u00a0is pure pleasure to read. It will surprise you, make you laugh and scare you\u2014and then, just when you think it\u2019s over, add several extra twists.”\u2014Michael Dirda,\u00a0<\/b>The Washington Post<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
Graham Patterson\u2019s life has hit a dead end. His career as a comedian is failing. The love of his life recently broke up with him and he literally has no idea what to do next. With nothing to lose, he buys a new car and hits the road, planning to drive across country and hopefully figure out his next moves before reaching California.<\/p>\n
But along the way Patterson does something his old self would never have even considered: he gets tattooed by a brilliant tattoo artist in North Carolina. The decision sets off a series of extraordinary events that changes his life forever in ways he never could have imagined. Among other things, Patterson is gifted with the ability to see in real time three different lives that are available to him. The choice is his: The life he is leading right now, or two very different ones. In all of them there is love or fame and of course danger because once he has chosen, there is no telling what will happen next.<\/p>\n
Mr. Breakfast<\/i>\u00a0is a dazzling, absorbing and deeply moving novel about the choices that we have to confront and face, confirming Jonathan Carroll\u2019s status as one of our greatest and most imaginative storytellers.<\/p>\n
