The Travels of Blad J. Garamond

The Travels of Blad J. Garamond: In Search of Genevi?ve Sans-Serif is a novel in verse and a swashbuckling saga in the grand old style. It chronicles the feverish romantic entanglements of three friends and foes: Blad, an Anglo-American dandy; Genevi?ve, an illustrious French cosmologist; and a masked swordsman known only as The Rival. Wounded by this love triangle, our hero sets out on a desperate voyage around the globe and beyond, via boat, train, horse, roadster, time machine, and homemade spaceship. Along the way, he chases happiness, flees his past, and broods on cocktails, typography, and loss.
