In this bold and brilliant short work of experimental fiction, Max Porter inhabits Francis Bacon in his final moments, translating into seven extraordinary written pictures the explosive final workings of the artist's mind. Writing as painting rather than about painting, Porter lets the images he conjures speak for themselves as they take their revenge on the subject who wielded them in life. This is a physical, emotional, historical, sexual, and political bombardment - the measure of a man creative and compromised, erotic and masochistic, inexplicable and inspired. Author of "Lanny."
