Oliver Woolf is a thirty-something journalist, well-connected socially, and an instinctual conservative, whose comfortable routine is upset by a chance encounter in the rain. The girl in the rain is Candy, who is not what she first seems. Over the summer, Oliver and Candy form an unlikely friendship, and when she stops calling on him, he sets out to find her. His search leads him through a labyrinthine underworld that extends from London to Manhattan. Along the way, he meets someone who will change his life forever. A late-twentieth century Rake's Progress, Oliver's journey confronts issues that are still largely taboo. Illustrated with photographs by Steve Diet Goedde, Tableaux combines art and storytelling in a new hybrid form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dominic Jay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1911422405\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781911422402\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Circa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/21\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.70w x 1.10d","brand":"Dominic Jay","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44070235635967,"sku":"9781911422402","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2cbc933c-2fa8-4f40-bd29-53d4673165db.jpg?v=1685429156","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tableaux-dominic-jay-9781911422402","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
