Renowned novelist Nicholas Delbanco gives us a triptych of indelible portraits: the American writer Stephen Crane (immortalized by \u003ci\u003eThe Red Badge of Courage\u003c\/i\u003e), the British artist Dora Carrington (called “the most neglected serious painter of her time”), and the legendary composer George Gersh­win (\u003ci\u003eRhapsody in Blue, Porgy and Bess\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll three lived colorful, productive lives before dying early, at an average age of thirty-five. In this learned and elegant book, Delbanco discovers what it is we mourn in artists who pass away so young, and muses on his own life—one marked by both early success and longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brilliance Audio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49387528847664,"sku":"BDb89n","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/244964-b89n-Square.jpg?v=1735197586","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-b89n","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
