Caravaggio Times Two: Meditations on Light and Dark, Artifice and Truth (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781940999043)

Caravaggio Times Two is a special edition chapbook produced for the World Premiere of Lux in Tenebris, a meditation about the life and works of the great 16th-Century painter, created by Jacopo Gianninoto and brought to life by an extraordinary team of dancers, actors and musicians. The chapbook pairs the cycle of poems composed by S.P. Somtow as the texts for the production with the novelette Chiaroscuro, written in 1991 as part of Somtow's Vampire Junction sequence, which is published as an independent story for the first time. It was originally woven into the novel Valentine, the middle volume of the iconic trilogy often cited as the "precursor of splatterpunk." The edition is illustrated throughout with Caravaggio's paintings, chosen to create a continuous arc of the artist's life.
