Über diesen Titel
Even before Lawrence Block could rest on his laurels from "In Sunlight or In Shadow", a question arose. What would he do for an encore?
Suppose each author was invited to select a painting from the whole panoply of visual art - from the cave drawings at Lascaux to a contemporary abstract canvas on which the paint has barely dried. And what a dazzling response!
Joyce Carol Oates picked "Le Beaux Jours" by Balthus. Warren Moore chose Salvador Dali's "The Pharmacist of Ampurdam Seeking Absolutely Nothing". Michael Connelly has a go at "The Garden of Earthly Delights" by Harry's namesake Hieronymous Bosch. S. J. Rozan finds a story in Hokusai's "The Great Wave", while Jeffery Deaver's "A Significant Find” draws its inspiration from-yes-those prehistoric cave drawings at Lascaux. And Kristine Kathryn Rusch moves from painting to sculpture and selects Rodin. In artists ranging from Art Frahm and Norman Rockwell to Rene Magritte and Clifford Still, the impressive concept goes on to include Thomas Pluck, Sarah Weinman, David Morrell, Craig Ferguson, Joe R. Lansdale, Jill D. Block, Justin Scott, Jonathan Santlofer, Gail Levin, Nicholas Christopher, and Lee Child.
Contains mature themes.
