He hires a model, Tina, to pose for a series of paintings he dubs The Eroticism of Homeliness. Over time, their relationship evolves from a tenuous working relationship to a confused sexual entanglement. Martins initial repulsion for Tina slowly turns to attraction, causing him to re-evaluate his own notions of beauty and sexuality. Tinas motives in working for Martin are slowly turned upside-down as well, leading toward the books inevitable, explosive ending. Sad, funny, and often uncomfortably titillating, Ripple is rendered with kinetic realism.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eImage and Condition Note -\u003c\/b\u003e We typically have multiple copies of the titles we sell.
