Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "In this delightful autofictionthe first book by Gainza, an Argentine art critic, to appear in Englisha woman delivers pithy assessments of worldclass painters along with glimpses of her life, braiding the two into an illuminating whole." The New York Times Book Review, Notable Book of the Year and Editors' ChoiceThe narrator of Optic Nerve is an Argentinian woman whose obsession is art. The story of her life is the story of the paintings, and painters, who matter to her. Her intimate, digressive voice guides us through a gallery of moments that have touched her.In these pages, El Greco visits the Sistine Chapel and is appalled by Michelangelos bodies. The mystery of Rothkos refusal to finish murals for the Seagram Building in New York is blended with the story of a hospital in which a prostitute walks the halls while the narrators husband receives chemotherapy. Alfred de Dreux visits Gericaults workshop; Gustave Courbets devilish seascapes incite viewers to have sex, or to eat an apple; Picasso organizes a cruel banquet in Rousseaus honor . . . All of these fascinating episodes in art history interact with the narrators life in Buenos Airesher family and work; her loves and losses; her infatuations and disappointments. The effect is of a character refracted by environment, composed by the canvases she studies.Seductive and capricious, Optic Nerve marks the Englishlanguage debut of a major Argentinian writer. It is a book that captures, like no other, the mysterious connections between a work of art and the person who perceives it. The U.S. debut novel of a celebrated Argentinian author--named a finalist for the Premio Dulce Chacon--blending fiction, history, and personal essay to tell the story of one woman's obsession with art Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
