Schwartzman is a poet as well as a novelist, and indeed the narrative is at its best in evoking lyrical dreamscapes from a forested African hillside to Paris seen through the eyes of a bedazzled newcomer., A powerful bildungsroman, rendered with exquisite lyricism from multiple viewpoints....Full of tantalizing questions that are answered in due course, this novel succeeds on many levels. Superficially, it is a love story, but it is also a story of the abuse of innocence and the attendant consequences for young lives. On another level it is a mystery, solved after dark secrets are revealed. It's also a story about the perils of undocumented African workers in France. At the root, however, this work ingeniously illustrates the purpose of art, showing its function and value beyond mere decoration. As Eddie Signwriter paints, he incorporates the struggles of his life into his work. Engaging characters and evocative descriptions make this novel truly unforgettable. Subtle, captivating, and beautiful, this outstanding novel is recommended for fans of multifaceted writing, as well as those interested in African life. It's Stuart O'Nan's Last Night at the Lobster meets Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's Half of a Yellow Sun., Each twist in this ambitious, accomplished novel plays with the trickery of resolution: the evanescent often resurfaces, while the seemingly permanent vanishes without warning. Eddie Signwriter is a book of fleeting hours. Nostalgic scenes of blossoming love between Eddie and Celeste hearken to the brief, sun-spangled summers of Nabokov's Ada, where another forbidden affair took root; they also recall Hawthorne's dim forest in The Scarlet Letter, whose clandestine companions linger for 'another, and another, and, after all, another moment.', Eddie...is a compelling character...Schwartzman is originally a poet and the beauty of his writing carries the reader through the story., This powerful bildungsroman, rendered with exquisite lyricism from multiple viewpoints, lightly circles about protagonist Kwasi Edward Michael Dankoh, aka Eddie Signwriter...Full of tantalizing questions that are answered in due course, this novel succeeds on many levels...Engaging characters and evocative descriptions make this novel truly unforgettable...Subtle, captivating, and beautiful, this outstanding novel is recommended for fans of multifaceted writing, as well as those interested in African life. It's Stuart O'Nan's Last Night at the Lobster meets Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's Half of a Yellow Sun., Schwartzman's debut novel bears testament to his background as a poet, as lush description and bright, playful prose chronicle the travails of Kwasi Edward Michael Dankwa, aka Eddie Signwriter...This wide-ranging and gorgeously written novel has huge heart, and Kwasi's quest for identity is as sad as it is uplifting., Schwartzman's grand theme is the tyranny of chance: the way a small act can unleash much larger consequences...Schwartzman writes superbly about the fatal misunderstandings that can occur between the generations.

Synopsis
This stunning and powerful novel is about a young African's international odyssey of self-discovery. Kwasi Edward Michael Dankoh--Eddie Signwriter to his clients--is a twenty-year-old painter of murals and billboards in the city of Accra, Ghana, buffeted by forces beyond his control. Struggling with a forbidden relationship, banished from school, and held responsible for the death of a notable woman in the community, Eddie flees overland to Senegal and then, illegally, to France, determined to find a new life for himself among the immigrant communities of Paris. Following him across magnificently rendered African lands into precincts of Paris, where the city of light shows a darker aspect, Adam Schwartzman gives us a spellbinding tale of rootlessness and desire, of disgrace and redemption, of politics both personal and global, of art and of love.

While the hat wasn’t to my liking, the seller gave me a full refund without hesitation. In hindsight, I should’ve waited a bit longer before posting my initial review. I appreciate their customer service and the way they handled the situation professionally.
