Summary

Argentinian painter Raul Engales, fresh on the downtown scene, has just caught the eye of New York's most infamous art critic: James Bennett. James has synaesthesia, experiencing life and art in wild, magical ways. He sees pictures as starbursts and fireworks, smells citrus when he says 'mother', and hears songs when he looks at sculptures. In this city, his name is a byword for good taste - until the day his gift deserts him. And then there's Lucy: Raul's eager blonde muse. Newly escaped from the suburban nothingness of Idaho, impossibly young and still untouched by urban ennui, she is drawn like a firefly to the electric brilliance of the city - and especially to its artists. Over the course of one year, these three lives collide and are transformed, as a brand new decade begins and New York brims with the energy of a million secret metamorphoses.
