The Complete Writings of Art Smith, the Bird Boy of Fort Wayne, Edited by Michael Martone
is a Midwestern mythology that celebrates facts, fiction, and the impermanence of art.

In the spirit of Kurt Vonnegut and Hayao Miyazaki,
recreates the wonder of the early flying machines as it reimagines the unwritten stories we tell about the daredevils who flew them.
