Van Gogh's Room at Arles
A wheelchair-bound professor abandoned by his wife must preside over a wild student party. The spurned fiancee of the Prince of England pens her memoirs as a series of tabloid exposes. A man awarded a foundation grant searches for his scholarly identity. Van Gogh's Room at Arles finds the prodigiously creative Elkin at the peak of his powers with three astonishing novellas.
