Congrats to author Graeme Wend-Walker on the arrival of his brand-new book about Russ! The book is entitled "Russell Hoban: Faithful to the Strange" and it's already available at booksellers. The cover features a painting Russ loved—the head of Orpheus with his lyre as depicted by Odilon Redon.

An open cardboard box containing copies of the new book, Russell Hoban, Faithful to the Strange by Graeme Wend-Walker, featuring Odilon Redon's painting of the head of Orpheus on the cover.
