1950s New York: a city alive with risk, both artistic and political. Against a backdrop of McCarthyite witch-hunts, the Rosenberg trial and the Korean War, two young outsiders - composer Morton Feldman and painter Philip Guston - form a friendship that will shape the course of their creative lives.
Part rivalry, part devotion and part creative necessity, their bond threatens to be both salvation and undoing. As nights stretch into mornings in cramped studios and downtown cafés, the work itself becomes a kind of battleground, where everything - wives, friends, health, reputation and self - is expendable, in search of the next breakthrough.
Published for Feldman's centenary, Feldman in Love is a lyrical, intimate novel about creation and longing, what it truly costs to make great art, and what we ultimately owe to one another when the last note has been played.
