A survivor of Europe's 20th-century nightmares now teaches art at a regional college where, under a relentless sun and beside a swimming pool, the narrator of THE MERMAID AT THE AMERICANA ARMS MOTEL recalls a lifetime of frustrated pursuits as an artist in the company of that century's most celebrated painters.
