From an artist whose work has appeared in more than 100 television commercials, films, and music videos, NARCISSA is Lance Tooks’ beautifully drawn, compelling story of one woman’s journey to self-discovery.

NARCISSA, a talented and self-centered independent filmmaker, is collapsing under the strain of her critics—the “enlightened” people who are trying to get her to compromise her integrity. The stress is killing her—literally. Warned that if she tries to complete her current project she’ll be dead in a week, Narcissa decides to escape the chaos that surrounds her-and the fears that threaten to overwhelm her—by traveling to Spain. As she encounters new people, places, and experiences, Narcissa gradually comes to a deeper understanding of who she is and what she is doing with her life.

Depicting Narcissa’s journey with compassion and wit, LANCE TOOKS has created an episodic, thoroughly engrossing, existential tale that will long resonate with readers.

Lance Tooks lives in New York and Madrid. He merely exists everywhere else.
