   Summary

   Painter duels were savage, violent affairs, confined to a canvas, torn apart by the viciousness of the Painters.

   Writer duels were far more civilized, rational events, with two Writers, sitting behind a desk, attempting to drown each other in ink.

   When Gustave challenges the Head of the Writer's Council - Philippe Auteur to a writer's duel - to save the life of Verso Dessendre and his family, he has every intention of rewriting the rules of engagement.
