“I found Aster Lynn a terrifically good read. It hits the ground running and never slackens its pace. The creative process comes alive for the reader when Aster paints. I've read only one book that does this as well, Mario Vargas Llosa’s The Way to Paradise. But that was a novelized version of the life of Gauguin, where there were real paintings to describe. In imagining Aster's work, Maisel has gone him one better. Spectacular!” -- Dr. Janis Lull, The Metaphysical Poets and The Poem in Time

“Make sure you begin Aster Lynn with time on your hands because you won’t be able to put it down. This book is lean, fiery, swift and inspiring. You will read it compulsively and breathlessly. Maisel’s simple to read and deceptively plain style ends by searing your heart. He writes with a rare, deep sensitivity to the psyche of the creative person and to the act of creativity itself!”-- Pan Morigan, recording artist
