Fort Lauderdale: the Journal of Florida Artist Rupert W. Miles

A "must read" for art historians. Clear testament to the strange paradox that genius need not necessarily be hindered by madness. Fort Lauderdale, The Journal of Florida Artist Rupert W. Miles is a "found diary" by the late Rupert W. Miles, who died in 1990. He was a locally popular modernist painter, but recognition on a national or even a regional scale eluded him. The journal is edited and includes a foreword by Man Morrow to explain just what it is. And indeed, what it is, is a perfectly bizarre story the likes of which we haven't seen for a very long time. It is adult and highly erotic at times. Other times it is slapstick funny. Throughout, it is an adventure story of the first order. It includes several photos of Miles' artwork.
