Hall's writing manages to combine acute sensitivity and daring. ... Visceral and engaging. ... The emotional lives of her characters are skillfully realized in this bright weave of disparate voices-for whom art is at once a way of seeing and a way of life. --The Times (London)
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).
