Welcome to Litsy!

Once I finished this, I had no idea what I just read. Thank god it‘s under 100p. I think it‘s about a painter in the present and his unfinished painting/ ideas. But I could be something else entirely 🤷‍♀️.

Since I loved “Lanny”, I‘m a little sad about not getting this one.

Like @BookishTrish said, I think this‘ll best be enjoyed by people who know Francis Bacon and his work. I gave this two stars but I‘m not panning this one (an exception I can only make for the best) because I truly believe Porter is a genius and that might shine through this book for other readers in ways I haven‘t been able to grasp. I was confused the whole time about what I was reading but Max, I‘ll read anything you put out ❤️

A frantic, fragmented imagining of Francis Bacon‘s last days. This book is best enjoyed by people who - unlike me - are more knowledgeable about Bacon‘s life and work.
