It’s 10 Days Until THE HOLLOW GIRL,
the Final Moe Prager Novel!
La Trahison des images by Rene Magritte. 1948
“I remembered a slide of a Magritte painting from my Introduction to Art History class–I guess I had college on my mind that day. It’s funny what you think about. Anyway, the painting was of a tobacco pipe and the artist called it “Ceci n’est pas une pipe.” In English I’m pretty sure that translates into “This is not a pipe.” The point is, it wasn’t a pipe. It was a painting of a pipe. And the poster I was looking at wasn’t Patrick Maloney. I guess that’s what hit me. “
–Moe Prager, from Walking the Perfect Square
