Man dying.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA great painter lies on his deathbed, synapses firing, writhing and reveling in pleasure and pain as a lifetime of chaotic and grotesque sense memories wash over and envelop him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this bold and brilliant short work of experimental fiction by the author of \u003ci\u003eGrief Is the Thing with Feathers\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eLanny,\u003c\/i\u003e Max Porter inhabits Francis Bacon in his final moments, translating into seven extraordinary written pictures the explosive final workings of the artist's mind. Writing \u003ci\u003eas\u003c\/i\u003e painting rather than \u003ci\u003eabout\u003c\/i\u003e painting, Porter lets the images he conjures speak for themselves as they take their revenge on the subject who wielded them in life. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe result is more than a biography: \u003ci\u003eThe Death of Francis Bacon\u003c\/i\u003e is a physical, emotional, historical, sexual, and political bombardment--the measure of a man creative and compromised, erotic and masochistic, inexplicable and inspired.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49326142357808,"sku":"BDewy3","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/ewy3-Square-cover.jpg?v=1773352270","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-ewy3","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
