When Walter Stahl was five years old, his mother drove away in the family's blue Volvo rather than came back. Now 17, moving into the dregs of NEVADA, taking care of his ailing dad and marking amount of time in a dead-end job along the Strip, Walter's life up to now has been identified by her lack. He doesn't keep in mind what she appears like; he's never very much as seen an image. But still he searches for her among the groups of vacationers he runs into every day, allowing himself the dim expectation that she might still be out there, someplace. However when Walter matches Chrysto and Acacia, a brother and sister working as living statues at the Venetian Hotel, his world splits widely open. With them he discovers a NEVADA he never knew existed and, as thoughts for Chrysto develop, a area of himself he never knew he had. At the same time, hints behind his mother's disappearance finally begin to show themselves, and Walter is met with not only the reality about himself, but also that of his family history. Threading through this coming-of-age history are beautiful, heart-wrenching visual illustrations which show the trip of Walter's mom Emily: how she left everything to chase a eye-sight of Liberace in the united states, and how Walter's dad Owen went looking for her amongst the gondolas of the Venetian Hotel. In Adam Sie's debut novel, Still Life Las Vegas, the marvelous collides with the mundane; memory space, sexual awakening, and familial ties all lead to a place where everything is illuminated, and there is nothing real. This audiobook includes narrative describing the drawings featured in the PDF.
