 I began this novel as an art heist, a contemporary story .. but then the second thread of the story is a historical story, in which [Marc] Chagall is a character. There's a particular Yiddish writer, Der Nister (which means The Hidden One) who actually was a real person and was Chagall's roommate, and there's a story about their friendship its dissolution.
