Riassunto

Using Munch's own letters and diaries and those of his contemporaries and friends, as well as newspapers and journals of the time, Ketil Bjornstad's 'literary biography' - which can also be read as a novel - presents us with a picture of Edvard Munch as unsparingly true as any of his self-portraits.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

'This is a wonderfully vivid recreation of Munch's life. It lets us enter his world far more intensely than a conventional biography . . . building into a dazzling tapestry which has the weight and inevitability of myth.' --Daily Mail

'Invaluable for anyone interested in the great Norwegian painter. Drawing heavily from Munch's extraordinary writing, most of which is unpublished, Bjørnstad gives the reader a lively and intimate account of an artist whose love and suffering became his work' --Siri Hustvedt

L'autore:

KETIL BJORNSTAD is a Norwegian jazz pianist and composer with over 30 albums and 20 books to his credit. The latter include a biography of the composer Edvard Grieg, as well as a number of internationally best-selling novels.
