Gripped by past grief, divorced literature professor Dr. Tobias Pi falls into an online relationship with Katerina Kotova, a beautiful and talented young Russian woman who quickly becomes his muse. Colleagues warn him the much-younger woman may not be who she seems, but Pi ignores them, plunging deeply into the friendship as his creativity explodes. When he meets Janet Brayden, a divorced Cooperstown painter with strong appetites and a turbulent past, Pi seems poised to return from the world of distant fantasy to in-person connections. But as Janet’s story unfolds, Pi is drawn into a baffling mystery that throws into question everything he thought he knew. A literary mystery that will challenge your assumptions, Cooperstown Picasso explores the fractured state of desire in a technological age and affirms the healing power of art.
