Eve wants to be an artist, but has no idea how to go about it. On the fringes of Sydney's art world, she tries out new identities every other week, and hopes for the best. Zed, a young East German, is Evie's soul mate, a man who yearns to escape his past. Like Evie, he believes that by transforming his appearance, he can traansform himself....In this satirical portrait of the art scene, art and artifice are interchangeable and appearance counts for substance. But for Evie and Zed the questions remain. Can you really escape your past? And what happens when you try? (Publisher's blurb, back cover).
