A brilliant and uniquely crafted novel that is a joy ride from start to finish -- a tale of possession, obsession, and the interconnectedness of life. The year is 1960 and two young men are in a darkroom. As they develop a series of prints, one photo is not what they expect. There is something odd about it. Something strange and luminous. One unexpectedness leads to another. And another. At the heart of this adventurous novel are two women: Marilyn Monroe -- one of the most photogenic women of this century -- and Kate Barnes -- a young girl who is also astonishingly photogenic. Kate, however, rejects this gift and in doing so moves further and further from civilization -- deep into the woods -- where, unseen, she controls the action of the story. As the Sixties tumble by, the two young men become increasingly obsessed with the strangeness of the photo. Their separate quests for luminosity lead one of them higher and higher into a spiritual realm, while the other sinks lower and lower into addiction and self-destruction. But these two apparently separate journeys are really one. The same journey that all of us must make towards finding enlightenment in the ordinary and the everyday.
