A hermit back home he unwillingly joins his brother Franz and Franz's French wife in Paris after his father forces the reunion. Though Geoff remains haunted by his violent past-both the Great War and what he might have done against another man on his farm-when he meets the surrealist poets Antonin Artaud and Robert Desnos his world cracks open. Antonin holds a mirror to Geoff's experiences and Geoff ultimately comes to learn from their similarities; Robert is jovial and irreverent fresh air lightening Geoff's life. Both men are original creative thinkers willing to argue against even the founder of the surrealist movement of which they are a part.</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(34 34 34 1)>Part thrilling mystery part coming-of-age tale part page-turning history lesson </span><em style=color: rgba(34 34 34 1)>Traitor Comet</em><span style=color: rgba(34 34 34 1)> is the first title in a historical novel series based on the real lives of avant-garde writers Antonin Artaud and Robert Desnos.
