How to Paint a Dead Man
by Sarah Hall
The lives of four individuals--a dying painter, a blind girl, a landscape artist, and an art curator--intertwine across nearly five decades in this luminous and searching novel of extraordinary power. With How to Paint a Dead Man, Sarah Hall, "one of the most significant and exciting of Britain's young novelists" (The Guardian), delivers "a maddeningly enticing read . . . an amazing feat of literary engineering" (The Independent on Sunday).
