Colors

"The most elegant of all art critic cowboys” —Spike Art Magazine Color beams at us from the everyday, but within each of the ten million shades are hidden our best and worst stories.  Colors is a collection of lush short stories about the many different shades that make up our lives. Berardini guides us through a spectrum of vignettes, weaving inspiration from Calvino’s Invisible Cities and Bowie’s Sound and Vision, arriving at color’s fundamental intersection with who we are and how we live.
