Description
“Writer extraordinaire Kyler James.” –Dennis Cooper
What happens when a genius of a painter meets a wealthy autograph dealer in New York City? Will they live happily ever after or will their worlds collide? Only Davis Jarvey, our gifted painter, will know for sure–on that dreaded day when he’s forced to make…Mercury’s Choice.
Kyler James is the author of the novel The Secret of the Red Truck, which made Dennis Cooper’s favorites list for 2014 and sold out repeatedly in New York City bookstores. A former actor and NYU graduate (studied with Stella Adler), Kyler started reading Tarot cards on film sets and has been a professional psychic counselor for thirty years, amazing people (and animals) with his talents. He has written columns and short stories for a number of magazines and is known for being “The Wizard of Washington Square” when the weather succumbs to his will.

“To live for art or for love—that is the imperative question—the subject of this tantalizing book. In this mind-bending story, the characters meander in and out of their obsessions as if trapped by Theseus’s Labyrinth, where even the telephone has a poetic force. Kyler James has written another compelling novel. I just loved it.” –Xavier Villanova, playwright/director/actor

Andy Behrman, author of Electroboy –
Kyler James reveals his metropolitan world—with an intimacy and power few of us would otherwise be privileged to share. This sensitively written and fast-paced tale will lure you in for an exciting ride.

Bravo! Kyler James has a real talent as a writer. He’s a great storyteller and the world needs great storytellers. Mercury’s Choice is very unique. It reconciled me with reading.
