Stephen Collins je britský ilustrátor a karikaturista, ktorého diela sa objavujú v mnohých publikáciách po celom svete. Vo svojom debutovom grafickom románe sa ponoril do absurdných tém a skúmal, ako sa jednotlivci vyrovnávajú s nepredvídateľnými silami v živote. Jeho štýl sa vyznačuje jemnou rovnováhou medzi humorom a melanchóliou, často s nádychom existenciálnej úzkosti. Collins vytvára vizuálne bohaté príbehy, ktoré divákov podnecujú k zamysleniu o ľudskej prirodzenosti a našom mieste vo svete.

In this riveting first novel, movie-TV-stage actor Stephen Collins lures us into the private world of Nicolette Stallings—a New York actress whose best performances are off-screen, in her dangerous relations with men. Pierre Hotel. Room: name of Nicholas. 1 A.M. Tonight. Nick finished writing, closed the matchbook, took one look at the stranger across the crowded restaraunt, and thought to herself: You go too far.... "Wildly erotic...Nicolette Stallings is a wonderful character, as unpredictable as the plot." — Phillip Margolin, author of Gone, But Not Forgotten "One of the smartest, most engrossing novels to come our way since Scott Turow." — Dayton Daily News "Sizzlingly sexy from the first page." — Star Tribune, Minneapolis
Told through the lens of its leaders and Taoisigh, Saving the State is the fascinating story of Fine Gael, from the wilderness years to the achievements in government, defeats and crises, the partnerships and the leadership. Essential reading for anyone interested in understanding how Fine Gael came to be the party it is today.
Learning good leadership is difficult. Learning great leadership is hilarious.
