The Cleveland Jewish Book Festival is back for its 25th year! Join Jonathan Sanflofer to discuss his book, The Lost Van Gogh.

From celebrated artist, legal counterfeiter and award-winning Jewish author Jonathan Santlofer comes The Lost Van Gogh, a spellbinding thriller of masterpieces, masterminds and the mysterious underbelly of the art world. In this highly-anticipated sequel to The Last Mona Lisa (a People Magazine Best Book of Summer), Santlofer turns his attention to one of the most revered artists of all time, spinning a riveting tale based on rumors that Van Gogh completed a final self-portrait before his death, one that has since been lost to time – or the black market

Jonathan Santlofer is an artist and USA Today best-selling author. He has received two National Endowment for the Arts grants, was a Visiting Artist at the American Academy in Rome, serves on the board of Yaddo and founded the Center For Fiction’s Crime Fiction Academy. His art has been exhibited worldwide, including in New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Praise for the book: “Ingeniously plotted, irresistibly readable, brimming with inside information about the high-stakes art world of theft, forgery, and murder…Also included are brilliantly rendered drawings by the author, who is as accomplished an artist as he is a writer of suspense thrillers.” ―Joyce Carol Oates
