Summary
Immerse yourself in this riveting short story collection where art takes center stage - but not always for the better.
Journey with an elderly caretaker who resolves a couple's spat over a painting, revealing the art market's complexities. Follow a draughtsman whose obsession with locomotives derails his love life, and a cartoonist who risks his sanity to fill in for a troubled colleague.
Through tales that are witty yet unsettling, Jansson confronts obsession, ambition, and the pitfalls of artistic endeavor. Brilliantly exploring the intricate relationship we have with art, this collection serves as a cautionary exploration of the fine line between artistic passion and consuming fixation.
Ideal for fans of Olivia Laing.
