Simple Game of Genius, A

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. In this fascinating and unconventional glimpse into the mind of a genius, we meet an artist whose life is a masterpiece of surrealism. Standing on his legs, he forms arcades; his flamboyant mustache the only thing protruding from his personage. He is Salvador, a self-proclaimed "Enfant Terrible" in the world of art. His "venus," the beautiful Amanda, sits on a corduroy couch, captivated by his every move. Through a series of bizarre and poetic pronouncements, Salvador reveals a mind in constant rebellion against sterility and automation. He speaks of his deceased brother as a first version of himself, and muses on the nature of their resemblance. He laments the laziness and lack of technique in modern art, and dons a wig of long black hair to make a point. Meanwhile, Amanda is puzzled by his words and deeds. She struggles to reconcile his deep connection with her with the reality of his marriage to his real wife. This blurb captures the intricate and often contradictory world of a true eccentric, a man who believed his venus understood him completely, even as her mind was a whirlwind of confusion. It's a story of art, love, and the beautiful chaos of a creative spirit.
