A Serious Book, Beginning With a Nude Model Smeared In Chocolate

The God of Good Looks was my favourite fiction read of the year

4d ago

Book cover for The God of Good Looks. Art work depicts a woman whose brown skin tone blends with the orange background. She has purple hair and emphatic eye make-up that make her look fierce but calm. I’d describe the image as pop art with a dash of the surreal but I’m no art expert.

End All Wars. That’s What Leevan Would Do.

But wait, Leevan! What about your own medical treatment?

Leevan in a blue Trail Trekkers TT shirt with his name on it. His back faces us and he sits on a stool with the Trinidad and Tobago flag at the top of the stool. The stool is near the edge of a precipice and he’s facing the sea on a cloudy day.
