Stephen Collins je britský ilustrátor a kreslíř, jehož práce se objevuje v mnoha publikacích po celém světě. Ve svém debutovém grafickém románu se ponořil do absurdních témat a zkoumal, jak se jednotlivci vyrovnávají s nepředvídatelnými silami v životě. Jeho styl se vyznačuje jemnou rovnováhou mezi humorem a melancholií, často s nádechem existenciální úzkosti. Collins vytváří vizuálně bohaté příběhy, které diváky podněcují k zamyšlení o lidské povaze a našem místě ve světě.

It is about life, death and the meaning of beards.(*We mean a gigantic beard, basically.)
In this riveting first novel, movie-TV-stage actor Stephen Collins lures us into the private world of Nicolette Stallings—a New York actress whose best performances are off-screen, in her dangerous relations with men. Pierre Hotel. Room: name of Nicholas. 1 A.M. Tonight. Nick finished writing, closed the matchbook, took one look at the stranger across the crowded restaraunt, and thought to herself: You go too far.... "Wildly erotic...Nicolette Stallings is a wonderful character, as unpredictable as the plot." — Phillip Margolin, author of Gone, But Not Forgotten "One of the smartest, most engrossing novels to come our way since Scott Turow." — Dayton Daily News "Sizzlingly sexy from the first page." — Star Tribune, Minneapolis
Told through the lens of its leaders and Taoisigh, Saving the State is the fascinating story of Fine Gael, from the wilderness years to the achievements in government, defeats and crises, the partnerships and the leadership. Essential reading for anyone interested in understanding how Fine Gael came to be the party it is today.
Learning good leadership is difficult. Learning great leadership is hilarious.
