'A wild, darkly comic nightmare set on the borderlines of
creativity, imagination and madness.' Guardian 'Thompson's prose,
contaminated by Bacon's unflinching view of the human animal, makes
for vital, unsettling reading' - Will Maclean, author of The
Apparition Phase 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 becomes 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.
