Synopsis:
Art collector Kaspar Utz takes refuge from the Gestapo horrors of World War II Prague, finding in his Meissen porcelains an exquisite reality and a counterfoil to his part-Jewish heritage
Review:
"Not a word is wasted in the telling of this tale. Each sentence is fashioned, polished, and put into place with microscopic care" (Daily Telegraph)
"This shiny little novel is not just about pretty porcelain figurines but about dirty great issues of life and creativity" (The Times)
"With Chatwin, the real excitement derives from an intellectual drama, in dialogues about art as a surrogate creation, a robbery of divine power, and art collecting as idolatry...For Chatwin, ideas are the supreme fictions" (Observer)
"Bruce Chatwin at his most erudite and evocative" (New York Times)
"About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
