The Opposite of Art

May 1, 2012 By Athol Dickson

A great artist is cast into the icy Harlem River by a hit-and-run driver. His heart stops, and he sees something that defies description. Presumed dead by all who knew him and obsessed with the desire to paint the inexpressible, he embarks on a pilgrimage to seek help from holy men around the globe. But is it possible to see eternity without becoming lost within it? After a quarter of a century, when the world begins to whisper that he may be alive, two people come looking for the artist: the daughter he never knew existed, and the murderer who hit him on the bridge all those years ago.

    Mr. Dickson,
    I have purchased all your books from Audible.com, and have reread a couple of them. I appreciate your work so much! The first book I read of yours was The Opposite of Art. While I was enchanted and enthralled by it, I also had so many questions! Now as I am rereading it, those questions are clarified a little, but not enough for my satisfaction! Surely you must have a blog or something that gives some explanation of the “allegorical” parts of the story. Could you let me know where I could find it? Thank you so much. Janie Franson
    PS, when will more of your works be available on Audible?

With regard to what I’ve written here, I know a little about a lot, a lot about a little, more than some when it comes to some things, less than others about others, and everything there is to know except for what I don’t.
