In Ripple, Martin is a floundering painter desperately attempting to pursue his fine-art inclinations rather than toil in the world of commercial art. He hires a model, Tina, to pose for a series of paintings he dubs The Eroticism of Homeliness. Over time, their relationship evolves from a tenuous working relationship to a confused sexual entanglement. Martins initial repulsion for Tina slowly turns to attraction, causing him to re-evaluate his own notions of beauty and sexuality. Tinas motives in working for Martin are slowly turned upside-down as well, leading toward the books inevitable, explosive ending. Sad, funny, and often uncomfortably titillating, Ripple is rendered with kinetic realism. Two color illustrations throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52092705538336,"sku":"NEW1683960262","price":28.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/ripple-a-predilection-for-tina-1683960262","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
