<p>Set in the world of contemporary art, Guy Kennaway''s new novel delivers his trademark absurdities and laugh out loud moments.<br><br>As the globe''s most successful super-dealer, Herman Gertsch spent his charmed life jettiing between his galleries in Zurich, London and New York, fawned over by artists, curators, politicians and the uber-rich.<br><br>As Herman''s empire grew, nothing seemed to get in his way, until he made the calamitous decision to open a gallery in a rural English backwater. Here, Herman encountered John ''Brother'' Burn, a penniless hippy known as the slipperiest man in south Somerset, and therefore the western hemisphere.<br><br>In the riotous comedy of errors that follows, Kennaway pours mistaken identity, Amazonian tribesmen, Swiss food, DMT, Arab Royalty, million dollar paintings and worthless tat onto a spin painting of a story that dazzles with surprises and leaves you feeling reassuringly warm about art and life.</p>
