The narrative also explores the experiences of the loved ones he leaves behind, on his ship and at home on land, as well as of the mermaids who jadedly witness his destruction. At the heart of the story lie the dubious value of maintaining dignity to the detriment of intimacy, and the erotic potential of the worst-case scenario. Julia Gfrörer’s delicate drawing style perfectly complements the period era of \u003ci\u003eBlack is the Color\u003c\/i\u003e, bringing the lyricism and romanticism of Gfrörer’s prose to the fore. \u003ci\u003eBlack is the Color\u003c\/i\u003e is a book as seductive as the sirens it depicts.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJulia Gfrörer\u003c\/b\u003e lives on Long Island, where she maintains an extensive collection of black cardigans.
