Lucifer's Garden of Verses 3: The Student ...or Nude Descending a Staircase, Head First

by Lance Tooks

Inspired by the German silent film classic The Student of Prague, this is the story of Andre Baldwin, a down-on-his-luck would-be Basquiat who enters into a Faustian bargain with a powerful art critic in exchange for status, riches and the love of a woman. Acquanetta Scapinelli is the critic in question, and she recounts this bitter tale with sardonic delight... "For what shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul?"
