NEW YORK TIMES EDITORS' CHOICE An incomparable storyteller serves
up an enchanting concoction of art, love, and longing In fifteen
masterful stories, Frederic Tuten entertains questions of
existential magnitude, pervasive yearning, and the creative
impulse. A wealthy older woman reflects on her relationship with
her drowned husband, a painter, as she awaits her own watery
demise. An exhausted artist, feeling stuck, reads a book of
criticism about allegory and symbolism before tossing her paintings
out the window. Writing a book about the lives of artists he
admires-Cezanne, Monet, Rousseau-a man imagines how each vignette
could be a life lesson for his wife, the artist he perhaps admires
the most. Whether set in Tuten's beloved Lower East Side, Rome's
Borghese Gardens, or a French seaside resort, these stories shift
seamlessly between the poignancy of memory into the logic of
fairytales or dreams, demonstrating Tuten's exceptional ability to
transmute his passion for art and life to the page.
