Paint in Mud is the first novel of The Tan Galaxy, followed by No Wake Zone and Mule of Mass.
1972. A painting graduate, marked by his troubled upbringing, enters the contemporary art scene. His odd notions prevent him from launching a career in SoHo, and he conceives an adventure southward. There, his confidence betrays him, and he falls into a strange, unexpected labyrinth.
"Paddy– you are marked with the dazed expression of a young, foolish man under the illusion of self-determination when all the while he is blind to the seductions of merely clever people. I told you to flee. Now you are ruined."
