"When I first tasted absinthe in 1996, my immediate question was, 'Why is this illegal?' That single question became a decades-long investigation into the myths, history, and extraordinary cultural influence of the Green Fairy. That investigation became The Green Fairy's Canvas: Absinthe's Influence on Art and Culture, and I'm honored to debut the paperback edition at Tales of the Cocktail before launching the Kickstarter campaign for the signed hardcover edition."
