<p><em>Magic Off Main</em> chronicles the life and art of Esther Warkov, a visual artist of Jewish heritage who lives in Winnipeg and paints in a surrealistic and postmodern style. It considers Warkov's art through an understanding of her life and the palpable effect her life as a Jewish woman growing up on the Canadian prairies has had on her art.</p>

<p>By tracing the development of Warkov's art over forty years, Rasporich addresses aspects of biography, social and cultural history, and art history in a cohesive volume. This biography is not limited to the narrow discipline of art and art history. Rather, it is a contribution to the larger field of Canadian studies, including cultural studies, and social history.</p>

<p>Prepared and written with careful consideration, <em>Magic Off Main</em> provides a rare glimpse into the personal insights and explanations of Warkov and is richly illustrated with forty illustrations and photographs.</p>
