Purchase options and add-ons

In this shocking, and at times darkly comic, novel, a psychiatrist hired to write a short piece on Francis Bacon becomes obsessed with the artist, his life, and the characters who surrounded him.

As he become consumed with the need to understand Bacon, and to create his own art, his grip on reality becomes increasingly tenuous, and he is haunted by disturbing figures.

This short, bold piece of fiction, explores how the passion needed to create art can also destroy the artist.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Visceral mind twisting text
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 20, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    Amazing if you have a strong stomach. Twisting and turning Tade and Francis Bacons life. How far do we go for art ? How do we understand the art of others? It will shock and sicken. Not for children or sensitive adults

    4.0 out of 5 stars Recherche in den Irrsinn - in mehrererlei Hinsicht
    Reviewed in Germany on August 5, 2023
    Verified Purchase
    Tade Thompson erzählt von Tade Thompson, der in einem seiner Romane mal ein Werk von Francis Bacon erwähnt hat und den nun Bacon-Freunde über seinen Verleger Tarquin dazu bringen wollen, ein Buch über ihn zu schreiben. Tade gefällt die Idee nicht, doch da er bei einem Treffen Einiges an Recherchematerial bekommt, fängt er eher lustlos an sich einzuarbeiten - und wird immer besessener von der ungewollten Arbeit, für die er versucht seinem Forschungsobjekt immer näher zu kommen, was schnell seinen Kolleg*innen in der Psychiatrie auffällt und schließlich auch den Patient*innen. Und je mehr er sich hineinsteigert, desto mehr verliert er den Kontakt zu seiner Frau Elise, seinem Sohn Trap - und zur Realität.

    Eine zunehmend verstörendes und stellenweise beinahe schmerzhaftes Buch, dessen Auflösung sehr sehr unerwartet ist. Und man ist gezwungen sich zu fragen, wie autobiographisches dieses Werk ist, dessen Hauptprotagonist nicht nur heißt wie der Autor und auch sonst viele Parallelen mit ihm aufweist.

    Stellenweise geradezu kafkaesk. Und insgesamt sehr speziell - insbesondere die immersiven Recherchemethode des Protagonisten.

    A Cleverly crafted decent into mental illness that hooks the reader from the moment you open the cover.

    Leaves the reader feeling uncomfortable and wanting more, then the reveal of why this has happened and you feel uncomfortable again because this could happen to any of us

    Thanks Tade Thompson for a great read
