Synopsis
Last Supper Restoration
Published by Samuel French Inc
4 Male 1 Female
The deathbed delusions of Bob Sarafin, a contemporary New York shirt designer and artist manque, are portrayed in a dreamlike narrative that weaves the imagined story of Leonardo da Vinci with that of Sarafin's father, an art restorer in Milan during World War II
As the nucleus of contemporary characters, people who are close to Sarafin, are called on to inhabit an eclectic selection of historical figures ranging from Sigmund Freud to Ezra Pound, The Last Supper Restoration becomes a mediation on the power of secrecy, betrayal and the possibility for human transcendence
