Matthew Binder

In this biting satire, Matthew Binder takes aim at the pretentiousness of high art and fashion. With ruthless wit, he chronicles the struggles of Paul, an eccentric artist, and his companion dog, Blanche. Together, they navigate a world of bad parties, bizarre fashion, deranged friends, shady deals, unrequited love, sabotage, and inscrutable art. Paul's life seems to be going nowhere until he meets James, a New Age guru and leader of a secretive cult called the Pure Cosmos Club. James promises Paul that he can help him achieve cosmic oneness, but there's a catch: Paul must pay a high price to join the club. Will Paul be willing to do whatever it takes to achieve his goals? Or will he realize that the price is too high?
