'Fast-paced and funny... gloriously satisfying.' - The Independent
'Micou manages to hit many targets without losing the gentle freshness of the satire.' - The Sunday Times
Oscar Lemoine's artisitic medium is the celebrity nude caricature; his ageing black Labrador, Elizabeth, is a late-blooming exponent of Canine Expressionism. The minor notoriety of Oscar's covers for the New York-based Lowdown magazine sends master and dog into exile in Val d'Argent, in the South of France, where Oscar hopes to improve his primitive social skills - and to do what he can to develop Elizabeth's budding artistic talent.
Paul Micou's critically acclaimed first novel, The Music Programme, introduced an exciting new writer; The Cover Artist, the funny and moving story of a man's social myopia, and his dog's artistic triumph, emphatically confirms that remarkable debut.
'It's quick, bright, consistent, and probably has some secret ingredient to keep you coming back for more.' - Time Out
'Micou's gift is for fusing outrageous elements into refined farce.' - The Mail on Sunday
Genre: Literary Fiction
