The Eye of Van Gogh is a radio drama, produced by the ZBS Foundation.[1] It is the sixteenth of the Jack Flanders adventure series and the fourth of the Travelling Jack sub-series. It combines elements of Old-time radio with psychic phenomena, supernatural beings and energies.
Balls of invisible perception-altering energy are bouncing around Quebec City. Being inside one of these can be a shocking experience - no problem for a seasoned traveller of the Invisible Realms, like Jack and Mojo - but potentially mind shattering for the population at large. These balls are bubbling up from some point in the city and Jack, Mojo, Claudine and Dominique find themselves in a race against time to locate the source of this energy and put a stop to it. Help may be at hand - a little girl with pigtails, smoking a large Havana cigar has been spotted in the city - but she's proving very elusive and it's driving Jack even more crazy than Dominique usually does.
Notes & themes
Dominique, who has always been a difficult character, really gives Jack a hard time in this story, ridiculing him mercilessly in front of the others.
Quotes
Jack: "I do sense an odd sort of a French connection here."[2]
Sam: "I think it split a seam."
Jack: "Reality split a seam?"
Sam: "That's right."
Jack: "Hehe, reality has seams?"
Sam: "You know that."
Jack: "Reality is only what it seems, right?"
Sam: "Maybe it is what it seems but I think it's the seems' seams that are splitting."
Jack: "You mean seems seams are seams that seem or what seems are the seams?"
Sam: "That's right."[3]
