In Joanna Scott's breakthrough novel the Austrian artist Egon
Schiele comes to prismatic life in a narrative that defies
convention, history, and identity. A self-professed genius and
student of August Klimt, Scott's Schiele repeatedly challenges the
boundaries of early twentieth-century Europe. Thrown in jail on
charges of immorality, Schiele's Mephistophelean reputation only
grows in stature until at the age of twenty-eight, the artist dies
in the Great Flu Pandemic. Told from a crosscurrent of voices,
viewpoints and times, this stunning novel won Scott a nomination
for the 1991 PEN/Faulkner Award.
